The third novel in the Wilderness series finds the Bonner family
back home in the North American frontier. A sparkling, absorbing
historical novel, set in America at a time when the growing
population in the towns clashed with the frontiersmen, the
adventurers and the original settlers, in their attempts to
regulate society, as they saw it. The Bonner family easily straddle
both worlds. But Hannah, the oldest daughter, a gifted healer,
training in medical studies in New York, finds herself in real
difficulties when she nurses and saves a runaway slave. Her actions
lead her and the family into new danger as the bounty hunters are
led by her childhood friend and first love, and the runaway slave's
escape is facilitated by one of her foster brothers. Sara Donati
captures brilliantly the vigorous spirit of those willing to leave
their homelands for new adventures and the conflicts between their
different cultures, all set in the magnificent sweep of the teeming
cities and the wild countryside.
