Everything that could go wrong did, and an American legend was born.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\r\nThe Donner Party. We think we know their story -- starving pioneers trapped in the mountains performing an unspeakable act to survive -- but we know only that one harrowing part of it. Impatient with Desire brings to stunning life a woman -- and a love story -- behind the myth. Historians have long known that Tamsen kept a journal, though it was never found. In Impatient with Desire, Burton imagines this lost journal -- and paints a picture of a remarkable heroine in an extraordinary situation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Connies Bookshelf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42956673188056,"sku":"9781401341015","price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/9099\/4904\/products\/ImpatientWithDesire.jpg?v=1655046540","url":"https:\/\/conniesbookshelf.com\/products\/impatient-with-desire","provider":"Connies Bookshelf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
