Jem Perkins is used to her comfortable city life--she has a fine
house, a handsome husband, and a new baby boy. But when her
family's financial situation takes a turn for the worst, she must
learn to adapt to her new life--in a sod house on a Nebraska
homestead.
Jem reluctantly adapts to the harsh realities of prairie life:
churning butter, fighting illness, enduring loneliness. In Jem's
desperate prayers for deliverance, she eventually encounters the
God she's always thought she'd known and finds strength she didn't
know she had.
But when the history-making Children's Blizzard of 1888 sweeps
across the land, ushering in a new season of hardship so harsh no
one could have imagined, Jem will have to endure more than she ever
has before. Can Jem's confidence, marriage, and new-found faith
weather the storm?
Whither Thou Goest, I Will Go is one of those ‘hidden gem’ type books.

I was captivated by the book and truly cared about what happened to Jem and Seth and their little boy, Charley. And when a reader really cares about the characters, I believe the author has done a superlative job. This Naomi Dathan did with humor and pathos and a true eye for detail. Read it. You’ll love it. You’ll love Jem and Seth. And you’ll be waiting to hear more from Ms. Dathan

I couldn’t put this book down and lost sleep to finish it. I am praying that there will be a second or a series of books for the characters. I want to know more about Jem and Seth, her father, her sisters, William and Susan, and well, all of them! For now I think I’ll reread the book! It’s a great read. I loved it!
