Give me a wagon train story and I will drop everything. There’s something about the westward journey itself that I can’t get enough of, as a reader or a writer: the miles that stretch on longer than anyone expected, the strangers who become family somewhere around the hundredth mile, and the way danger and devotion always seem to travel side by side on that trail.
If you feel that same pull toward the open trail, here are the best wagon train romance series for fans of clean, faith-filled fiction, the kind of stories you’ll want to ride along with from the first mile to the last.
