Description
Willa Obenchain's life has been marked by two worlds. Abducted at fourteen and renamed Burning Sky, she built a new identity among the Mohawk Indians. Yet, after twelve years, she returns to her family's New York frontier homestead, only to find it in disrepair and her childhood home shrouded in mystery. As Willa navigates this changed landscape, she encounters a wounded Scotsman who requires her care. Their paths soon cross with others from her past, including a man twisted by the horrors of war and a botanist who helps revive her farm. Tensions rise in the nearby village of Shiloh, where strong feelings against "savages" abound, leaving Willa's safety uncertain. In this tumultuous aftermath of the Revolutionary War, Willa must confront her shielded heart and find a new courage to risk embracing the blessings the Almighty wants to bestow.
