About this ebook

The daughter of a Mohawk mother and French father in 1759 Montreal, Catherine Duval finds it is easier to remain neutral in a world that is tearing itself apart. Content to trade with both the French and the British, Catherine is pulled into the fray against her wishes when her British ex-
fiance, Samuel Crane, is taken prisoner by her father. Samuel asks her to help him escape, claiming he has information that could help end the war.

Peace appeals to Catherine, but helping the man who broke her heart does not. She delays . . . until attempts on Samuel's life convince her he's in mortal danger. Against her better judgment she helps him flee by river, using knowledge of the landscape to creep ever closer to freedom. Their time together rekindles feelings she thought long buried, and danger seems to hound their every mile. She's risked becoming a traitor by choosing a side, but will the decision cost her even more than she anticipated?

Ratings and reviews

If you love historical fiction you will like this book. Some chapters take place years before others but you know exactly what year it is before you begin that chapter. Catherine Duval is half Mohawk and half French. She is a contrast in many ways. She stands apart and strong in many areas yet is so soft hearted and loving in others. While she does not want to pick sides in a war, she does not understand, that is exactly what she must do. There is action, history, forgiveness, and heartache in this book. Tough decisions and those consequences as well.
