Weaving a tapestry of fact and fiction, Sara Donati’s epic novel
sweeps us into another time and place . . . and into a breathtaking
story of love and survival in a land of savage beauty. It is December
of 1792. Elizabeth Middleton leaves her comfortable English estate to
join her family in a remote New York mountain village. It is a place
unlike any she has ever experienced. And she meets a man unlike any
she has ever encountered—a white man dressed like a Native American:
Nathaniel Bonner, known to the Mohawk people as Between-Two-Lives.
Determined to provide schooling for all the children of the village,
Elizabeth soon finds herself locked in conflict with the local slave
owners as well as with her own family. Interweaving the fate of the
Mohawk Nation with the destiny of two lovers, Sara Donati’s
compelling novel creates a complex, profound, passionate portait of an
emerging America. Praise for Into the Wilderness “My favorite kind
of book is the sort you live in, rather than read. Into the Wilderness
is one of those rare stories that let you breathe the air of another
time, and leave your footprints on the snow of a wild, strange place.
I can think of no better adventure than to explore the wilderness in
the company of such engaging and independent lovers as Elizabeth and
her Nathaniel.”—Diana Gabaldon “Each time you open a book you
hope to discover a story that will make your spirit of adventure and
romance sing. This book delivers on that promise.”—Amanda Quick
“A beautiful tale of both romance and survival…Here is the beauty
as well as the savagery of the wilderness and, at the core of it all,
the compelling story of the love of a man and a woman, both for the
untamed land and for one another.”—Allan W. Eckert “Lushly
written . . . Exemplary historical fiction.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Epic in scope, emotionally intense.”—BookPage
