About This Book

The novel depicts life in a frontier New England village during a tense winter, following a fourteen-year-old boy who bears responsibilities for his family and younger brother while fearing raids and contemplating where the self ends and the wider world begins. Domestic debates over pride, hospitality, and scarce resources mix with reports from a distant relative, militia frustrations, and local gossip, producing a textured portrait of community anxiety, moral reflection, and the fragile boundary between settled life and the wilderness beyond.
