Part of The Backcountry Brides Collection – Eight 18th Century Women Seek Love on Colonial America’s Frontier
This novella is set at Fort McCrea, along the Upper Mississippi River in 1792.
Abi McCrea longs to leave her father’s fur post for her sister’s Montreal home, located in the wilderness within stockade walls, but he will not allow it.
Henry Kingsley works for Abi’s uncle in Montreal. He travels a long way to deliver a letter to Abi’s father. The news of an inheritance may take her father from his family. What will become of Abi and her Chippewa mother?
The author did a great job showing the prejudice that some felt for the Native Americans in the new country of the United States. I enjoyed the story.
A good read! I will look for more books by this author.
