At the wood’s edge cultures
collide. Can two families survive the impact? The 1757 New
York frontier is home to the Oneida tribe and to British
colonists, yet their feet rarely walk the same paths.
On the day Fort William Henry falls, Major Reginald Aubrey
is beside himself with grief. His son, born that day, has
died in the arms of his sleeping wife. When Reginald comes
across an Oneida mother with newborn twins, one white, one
brown, he makes a choice that will haunt the lives of all
involved. He steals the white baby and leaves his own child
behind. Reginald’s wife and foundling daughter, Anna, never
suspect the truth about the boy they call William, but
Reginald is wracked by regret that only intensifies with
time, as his secret spreads its devastating ripples.
When the long buried truth comes to light, can an unlikely
friendship forged at the wood’s edge provide a way forward?
For a father tormented by fear of judgment, another by lust
for vengeance. For a mother still grieving her lost child.
For a brother who feels his twin’s absence, another unaware
of his twin’s existence. And for Anna, who loves them
both—Two Hawks, the mysterious Oneida boy she meets in
secret, and William, her brother. As paths long divided
collide, how will God direct the feet of those who follow Him?
