The Civil War has ended, but in Katie Calloway's Georgia home
conflict still rages. To protect herself and her young brother from
her violent and unstable husband, she flees north, finding
anonymity and sanctuary as the cook in a Northwoods lumber camp.
The camp owner, Robert Foster, wonders if the lovely woman he's
hired has the grit to survive the never-ending work and harsh
conditions of a remote pine forest in winter. Katie wonders if she
can keep her past a secret from a man she is slowly growing to
love.
With grace and skill, Serena Miller brings to life a bygone era.
From the ethereal, snowy forest and the warm cookstove to the rowdy
shanty boys and the jagged edges of the saw, every detail is
perfectly rendered, transporting the reader back to the time when
pine was king, men were made of iron, and rivers were choked with
logs on the way to the sawmills. Readers will have a hard time
leaving the Northwoods when they turn the last page.
Her heart seeks sanctuary in the deep woods. But will trouble
find her even here?
