Where the River Takes Me takes place in 1850 as Jenna Sinclair’s life is about to change. Since the death of her father, she had been living with his sister, Aunt Grace. Jenna loved living in Fort Edmonton. She often shared time with her maternal grandmother. She also had a very best friend named Suzanne.

Jenna and Aunt Grace had always lived alone. Everyone said Aunt Grace was too fussy when it came to men. Then, Aunt Grace met Rory Kennedy.

This is where Jenna’s real adventure began. Her first move would be to Fort Colvile, where her Aunt and new Uncle would live. Jenna would go to boarding school on Vancouver Island. Here she’d make some enemies, find a few new friends, solve a mystery, report a crime, and have a great deal of adventures.
