In the tradition of such memorable bestselling authors as Willa
Cather and Edna Ferber, or such more recent successes as Charles
Frazier's Cold Mountain and Philip Kimball's Liar's
Moon, Micaela Gilchrist has written a first-rate, romantic
and deeply moving historical novel, rich with the kind of detail
that brings history to life and peopled with the kind of
larger-than-life characters that stand out against even the
brilliant, tumultuous, bloody backdrop of the struggle for
the West. — from the jacket
Gilchrist has managed to create a work that is both historically
riveting in the manner of 18th-century captivity narratives and as
deft in the depiction of a beleaguered marriage as CS Godshalk's
Kalimantaan. — Publisher's Weekly
Sprawling frontier saga of love, loss, and revenge spanning several
decades. — Kirkus Reviews
