About A Boot in Motion
Ellie is approaching her ten-year wedding anniversary, but she doesn’t feel like celebrating.
Her once handsome, happy, athletic young husband has changed: stuck in a job he despises, Jack is irritable, lethargic, and obese. A clean split now would give Ellie time to find a new partner to start a family with. She wishes her mom were still around; she had once said that Jack “just needs a boot in the right direction.” Believing she’s tried everything, Ellie is ready to give up. Then a mysterious woman says she has the power, with some help from Ellie, to restore Jack to his former self. Is her promise too good to be true? Skeptical but willing to try anything, Ellie agrees to put the plan in motion–and suddenly feels something that’s been missing for a long time: hope.
Join Jack’s journey of discovery as his wagon train crosses the Great Plains, Rocky Mountains, and Sierra Nevada, navigating brutal conditions, hunger, sickness, and other obstacles. Barely able to keep the pace as they set out from Independence, Jack wonders how he’ll make it to California–and whether Ellie will be waiting for him at the end of the trail.
