Melissa May shares the awe-inspiring true tale of a courageous frontierswoman named Melissa May. Tracing Melissa's rugged journey across America in the late 1800s, this emotional family saga intimately captures the vanishing era of pioneers settling the western plains.

Born just west of the Allegheny Mountains in 1854, Melissa endures heartbreak early on when both her parents die. Orphaned at five, she and her siblings desperately search for refuge.

Melissa's quest eventually carries her by covered wagon to the developing farms of Iowa. But when drought and hardship strike, she joins the migration of homesteaders to the Great Plains of Dakota Territory.

Against the wild backdrop of the open prairie, Melissa confronts life-threatening blizzards, prairie fires, Indian raids, starvation, and more. Yet her determination and willingness to aid struggling neighbors never falters. Melissa's courageous spirit perseveres as she builds a lasting home-and legacy-on the untamed frontier, influenced by her unshakable Christian faith.

Inspiring and gripping, Melissa May immerses you in the incredible true story of one woman's resilience, virtue, and fortitude on the American plains.

Salisbury, Grace Norris: - The author of this book is Grace Norris Salisbury. She was born on June 8, 1913, in Oregon. In 1932, after graduating from high school, she married Harold Norris. When the oldest of their two daughters was school age, they moved to Laurelwood Academy. After their divorce she began working at the Portland San (now Portland Adventist Medical Center) and later as housekeeper for some of the wealthy families in Portland. Her hobbies included gardening, especially flowers, and for several years she printed a newsletter and sent it to shut-ins. Grace wrote this book because she wanted to pass her grandmother's story on to others, show what life was like for the pioneers, and share the history of the Sabbath. After retiring, Grace cared for her mother in her final years, and in turn was cared for by her own daughter, Lou, until her death on March 17, 1998. Grace's daughter, Dona O'Daniel, submitted her mother's manuscript for publication to fulfill her mother's dream.
