Beyond the point of no return. Weathering the storm only the O'Gormans witnessed. Well, they and Midnight.

The O'Gorman family get off to a shaky start west. A storm surrounding only the prairie schooner almost sinks them, save for the heroics of Annie and Midnight.

Finally the O'Gorman family heads west.

Annie awakes to discover a visitor from the night before.

Annie travels for a second time where she encounters old fears, new danger and a savior.

Annie observers and determines there is a difference between hearing and communicating. Da's anger ominously subsides when once more his dream is put on hold.

For Annie, there's more to traveling than meets the eye.

The O' Gorman's disappointment. Da's disappointment with Annie. The world through Annie's eyes.

Destination Day finally comes... and goes.

Part Two of Chapter 11. Sorry for the delay. Getting back on track as we learn more about Annie and how she comes to believe the Prairie schooner that will take them to "O" is magical. And how things are and are not understood in the world of the Deaf.
