The Daughter's Walk
(2011)

Based on a true story of a mother and daughter's historic walk from Spokane, Washington to New York City in 1896 in an effort to save the family farm. Clara, the daughter, tells this story of family disappointment and betrayal, love and loss as she breaks from her traditional Norwegian family.  On her journey, she discovers what family truly means and why it is a word that comes to us from the Latin Famalus meaning "servant."  It's a story of family schism, reconcilliation and grace. (c.2011)

Early Praise for The Daughter's Walk       

"Jane Kirkpatrick is a wonderful writer who creates a story full of strong, admirable characters with human flaws.  Clara and Helga come to life with dimension and depth pulling us into their world.  I walked across the country with them, experienced their triumph and disappointment, and faced the shattered, angry family when they returned.  Jane has given readers a wonderful story of a family schism that comes full circle to love and grace and the importance of family, especially when one has been an outcast.  I highly recommend The Daughter’s Walk!"  Francine Rivers, New York Times Bestselling Author.

"As I read I fell in love with these two women. I hurt for them, giggled at them, and found myself routing [sic] for their success. After Helga and Clara arrived home I was surprised at the direction the book took, and I was both proud and disheartened at how they both decided to make their way–most specifically, how they handled the repercussions of their journey together." Heather L. Saunders
