Historical | Saga
With epic sweep and breathtaking adventure, Sara Donati’s
bestselling saga of an Early American family’s struggle for
survival in the Northeast wilderness continues with the
story of an indomitable woman and an unforgettable journey
of redemption across a young nation threatened by the flames
of war. The year is 1812 and Hannah Bonner has returned to her
family’s mountain cabin in Paradise. But Nathaniel and
Elizabeth Bonner can see that Hannah is not the same woman
as when she left. For their daughter has come home without
her husband and without her son... and with a story of loss
and tragedy that she can’t bear to tell. Yet as Hannah
resumes her duties as a gifted healer among the sick and
needy, she finds that she is also slowly healing herself.
Little does she realize that she is about to be called away
to face her greatest challenge ever. As autumn approaches, news of the latest conflict with
Britain finds the young men of Paradise—including
eighteen-year-old Daniel Bonner—eager to take up arms.
Against their better judgment, Nathaniel and Elizabeth must
let him go, just as they must let his twin sister Lily, a
stubborn beauty, pursue her independence in Montreal. But on
the eve of the War of 1812, an unexpected guest arrives from
Scotland: It is the Bonners’ distant cousin, the newly
widowed Jennet Scott of Carryckcastle. Far from home, Lily
and Jennet will each learn the price of pursuing their
dreams and the possibility of true love. But it’s Hannah herself who must risk everything once
more—this time to save Daniel, who’s been taken prisoner by
the British. As the distant thunder of war threatens
Paradise, Hannah may learn to live—and maybe love—again in
one final act of courage, duty, and sacrifice.
