(USED-Good Cond)-
When Elizabeth Middleton, twenty-nine years old,
unmarried and firecely independent, leaves England to join her father and brother in a remote mountain village on the edge of the New York wilderness, she does so with a strong will and an unwavering purpose: to establish a school.
It is December 1792 when she arrives in a cold climate
unlike any she has ever experienced and meets a man unlike any she has ever encountered - a white man dressed like a Native American, tall and lean and unsettling in his honesty. He is Nathaniel Bonner, also known to the Mohawk people as 'Between-Two-Lives'.
Determined to provide schooling for all the village children - white, black and Native American - Elizabeth soon finds herself at odds with slave owners, as well as her own father. Judge Middleton has other plans for her: marriage to local doctor Richard Todd. An alliance with Todd could save her father from financial ruin but would call into question the ownership of Hidden Wolf, the mountain where Nathaniel, his father, and a small group of Native Americans live and hunt.
Interweaving the fate of the Mohawk Nation with
the destiny of two outsiders from different worlds, Into the Wilderness is both an epic love story and a compelling portrait of emerging America.
