Joshua Lightfoot is the last surviving member of his Native
American family. Engrained in him by his race, is the belief that
the Great Spirit was the Supreme Creator who held everyone's life
in balance. Joshua is in the minority spiritually, as well as
racially, as he struggles to harmonize his beliefs with those of
the majority of the Christian people associated with his life. His
family inheritance includes the responsibility of managing a large
tract of forested land granted to his grandfather with the
provision that it be preserved in its wilderness state, and managed
by the Lightfoot family, and heirs forever. In order to sustain
this responsibility, he has to take a wife and be blessed with
heirs. Joshua struggles to preserve the peaceful independent
existence of a handful of dedicated families and Indian laborers
who work the land for the Lightfoot family. The young master of the
Hermitage has to prove to himself, and those who work for him, that
he is a worthy and creditable leader, as his father was before him.
While he has a deep desire to marry a full-blooded Indian girl,
destiny provides the circumstance and the setting for him to meet
Abby Geldman, an Irish immigrant girl just out of finishing school.
The story unfolds around the events leading up to the great
blizzard of 1888 and its effect upon the lives of the inhabitants
in the small, remote mountain village of Twin Bridges, located in
the North Country of New York State.
