Publisher's Synopsis
The daughter of a fur trader, Laurette Pettigrew grew up in the northern frontier. Hers is a lonely existence avoiding the British in the fort and the French voyagers who populated the area in the summer months. The local Ojibwe are her only friends.
Sickly and weak, Henry Bedlow arrives at Fort Michilimackinac against his will. He wore the red coat and shouldered a musket, but in his heart, he wasn't a soldier. But his choices were to join the army or prison. Their chance meeting changes everything. Will a deadly clash of cultures keep them from finding happiness?
