She longs for adventure--and for freedom to live her own life.But in the year 1786, and the realities that face newly settled United Empire Loyalist families like Mary's are often harsh. In this continuation of the Meyers family saga that began with the author's first novel, Flight, Mary must come to terms with danger, the survival of her family, and love."
