| Publisher Description: 1704, Deerfield Massachusetts-the limits of the American frontier. Seeking a normal adolescence, it is the chance meeting of a strange young man that puts excitement into Lizzie Price's life leading to romance and a marriage not entirely embraced by her Puritan community. During one of New England's harshest winters, when she has just begun her wonderful new life, Lizzie and her community are violently wrenched into chaos when an army of Indians and their French military supporters burn the village and kill or capture half of its occupants. Led by leather lashes around their necks, the captives are marched for a month on a fearful passage north through the winter wilderness of Vermont to the relative metropolis of Montr al. In this totally foreign setting of French-Canadian Catholicism Lizzie is forced to find a new life. Not only a journey through the frozen wild, but a journey through the cultures of Puritan New England, American Indian and French-Canadian Catholic-all so different, yet so hauntingly similar. If you enjoyed the Allard Series and Kreis' ability to bring history to life, you will love Fearful Passage North. |
