In the aftermath of another lethal attack, her chief begs her to remarry for the sake of the clan. Marie is a healer who honours the ways of her people, and Pierre, the green-eyed ex-soldier from France who wants her for his bride, is not the man she would choose. But her people are dwindling, wracked by white men's diseases and nearly starving every winter as the game retreats away from the white settlements. If her chief believes such a marriage will cement their alliance with the French against the Iroquois and the British, she feels she has no choice. Though she does it reluctantly, and with some fear--Marie is trading the memory of the man she loved for a man she doesn't understand at all, and whose devout Catholicism blinds him to the ways of her people.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis beautiful, powerful novel brings to life women who have literally fallen through the cracks of settler histories.

In her mother's culture, she would have been considered blessed, her nature a sign of special wisdom.
