Giveaway: The Daughter’s Walk by Jane Kirkpatrick
I have 3 copies of The Daughter’s Walk by Jane Kirkpatrick to give away, courtesy of WaterBrook Multnomah!
About the book
A mother’s tragedy, a daughter’s desire and the 7000 mile journey that changed their lives.
In 1896 Norwegian American Helga Estby accepted a wager from the fashion industry to walk from Spokane, Washington to New York City within seven months in an effort to earn $10,000. Bringing along her nineteen year-old daughter Clara, the two made their way on the 3500-mile trek by following the railroad tracks and motivated by the money they needed to save the family farm. After returning home to the Estby farm more than a year later, Clara chose to walk on alone by leaving the family and changing her name. Her decisions initiated a more than 20-year separation from the only life she had known.
Historical fiction writer Jane Kirkpatrick picks up where the fact of the Estbys’ walk leaves off to explore Clara’s continued journey. What motivated Clara to take such a risk in an era when many women struggled with the issues of rights and independence? And what personal revelations brought Clara to the end of her lonely road? The Daughter’s Walk weaves personal history and fiction together to invite readers to consider their own journeys and family separations, to help determine what exile and forgiveness are truly about.

What an intriguing story. I love the mix of historical with fiction. What drove Clara to continue on her own and did she find what she was looking for.

Wow! If I was in a bookstore and saw this book I would buy it right now!!! I love to read historical fiction about the United States and concerning women’s rights and their fight for independence! Also, how did the daughter stay away for 20 years and change her name. This speaks for family separations. My family on my mother’s side has relatives that they don’t talk to because they were on opposite sides of the Civil War so I know a lot about that!

I am interested to see what prompted Clara to do this second journey on her own, and to do so while changing her name and having no contact with her family. Did something happen between her and her mom on the initial trip or did she already have issues with her family? Interesting questions!
