Into the Wilderness

In "Into the Wilderness," Elizabeth Middleton, a determined twenty-nine-year-old Englishwoman, leaves her comfortable home to teach in the remote village of Paradise on the edge of the New York wilderness in 1792. There, she encounters Nathaniel Bonner, a frontiersman with ties to the Mohawk people, leading her into a world of forbidden love and cultural conflict. As Elizabeth struggles against local slave owners and her father's expectations for her future, she faces a transformative journey that intertwines her fate with the remnants of the Mohawk Nation. Sara Donati weaves a rich narrative of romance and history that captures the burgeoning spirit of America.
