When Papa decides it is time to pack up the wagons and move the entire family from Iowa to Oregon, he makes one thing very clear: he is not leaving his precious fruit trees behind. He loads up apples, peaches, plums, grapes, cherries, and pears right alongside his children. The pioneer trail is long and absolutely brutal. The family has to navigate across a river that feels wider than Texas, dodge hailstones the size of ripe plums, and somehow survive a scorching drought that threatens to crisp every last leaf. Thankfully, his brave daughter Delicious is keeping a watchful eye. She is determined to make sure her father's beloved saplings survive the crazy journey so they can eventually taste the sweet Oregon soil. This hilarious, slightly true tall tale captures the wild and wonderful adventure of a real life pioneer family on the move.
