“The powerful dual portrait of Jess . . . [a] survivor, and Noah, an experienced hunter and canny diplomat, gets this series off to an auspicious start.” —Publishers Weekly
Set in 1750’s Pennsylvania, Into the Wilderness depicts life in the Allegheny Mountains and the Northeast at the beginning of the French and Indian War. Noah Wilde is a “long hunter,” a man who hunts game for settlements and forts and is sometimes gone for months at a time.
Sixteen-year-old Jessica Matthews is attacked by Ottawa Indians and is saved by Noah, who is wounded in the encounter. As Noah recovers at Jessica’s mountain cabin, he and Jessica fall in love, but Noah, who is secretly spying for the English government, has a mission to fulfill and is forced to leave once he recovers.
Noah’s role in an earlier French versus English battle forces his imprisonment, and he is unable to return to Jessica in time to save her and her family from an Indian attack that leaves her parents and brother dead and sees Jessica captured by Delaware Indians.
After his release, Noah is sent on a new mission with a young George Washington, and when he discovers what happened to Jessica, he leaves to search for her. He once again risks his life to free her.
“Fans of The Last of the Mohicans and Donald Clayton Porter’s ‘White Indian’ series will find this book satisfying.” —Library Journal
“The author’s clever juxtaposition of the fierce warrior behavior with touching acts of tribal kindness result in a three-dimensional picture of Native Americans.” —Publishers Weekly
“The colorful backdrop and historical accuracy make this a wonderful beginning to a promising series.” —Romantic Times
