When her new stepfather, a trader, decides to move the family to Santa Fe, Missourian Florrie and her family start out for New Mexico Territory. In her diary Florrie records her trip as well as her worries about her pregnant mother and her grief over leaving friends along the way. Occasionally the plot seems overloaded with every possible experience, but Florrie's tale is engaging overall.
