About This Book

A young frontier girl living beside the Niagara gorge copes with the anxieties and disruptions of an approaching war. Through encounters with neighbors, travelers, soldiers, captures and prisoner exchanges, and everyday events such as husking and village gatherings, she learns about loyalty, courage, and community bonds. Episodes alternate moments of domestic life, surprises, and peril, ending with a resolution as hostilities subside and characters confront loss, friendship, and the return to peacetime routines.
