With epic sweep and breathtaking adventure, Sara Donati's
bestselling saga of an Early American family's struggle for
survival in the Northeast wilderness continues with the story of an
indomitable woman and an unforgettable journey of redemption across
a young nation threatened by the flames of war.
The year is 1812 and Hannah Bonner has returned to her family's
mountain cabin in Paradise. But Nathaniel and Elizabeth Bonner can
see that Hannah is not the same woman as when she left. For their
daughter has come home without her husband and without her
son...and with a story of loss and tragedy that she can't bear to
tell. Yet as Hannah resumes her duties as a gifted healer among the
sick and needy, she finds that she is also slowly healing herself.
Little does she realize that she is about to be called away to face
her greatest challenge ever.
As autumn approaches, news of the latest conflict with Britain
finds the young men of Paradise--including eighteen-year-old Daniel
Bonner--eager to take up arms. Against their better judgment,
Nathaniel and Elizabeth must let him go, just as they must let his
twin sister Lily, a stubborn beauty, pursue her independence in
Montreal. But on the eve of the War of 1812, an unexpected guest
arrives from Scotland: It is the Bonners' distant cousin, the newly
widowed Jennet Scott of Carryckcastle. Far from home, Lily and
Jennet will each learn the price of pursuing their dreams and the
possibility of true love.
But it's Hannah herself who must risk everything once more--this
time to save Daniel, who's been taken prisoner by the British. As
the distant thunder of war threatens Paradise, Hannah may learn to
live--and maybe love--again in one final act of courage, duty, and
sacrifice.
A gifted writer, a master storyteller, and a first-rate historian,
Sara Donati has written a powerful, poignant, and movingly romantic
novel that chronicles the lives and adventures of a family as
compelling and unforgettable as any in American fiction.
