Hi everyone!Last year, I came upon this book at Milliken Mills Library, and it's REALLY good!
Here's my reveiw:
Cecile is a headstong, 15-year-old who has just returned to Quebec after a stay in the wilderness (and with Natives). Her mother has just passed away, and Cecile is still coping. As she walks down the streetone day, she sees a cruel master branding a pani (native slave) boy. Defying convention, Cecile buys 17-year-old Lesharo's freedom and treats him as an equal.
Lesharo is Pawnee - The people of the Wolf. Sworn to protect Cecile, he accompanies Cecile and her father, Robert to the new fort at Detroit.
Cecile hates life at the palisades where most look upon Lesharo as a pani. It is also where 2 scheming woman plan to "hook" Cecile up with a French officer.
Torn between 2 worlds, they can only be free in the wild - where the wolf waits.
A budding romance grows between Lesharo and Cecile - but there is one problem Cecile is Catholic and Lesharo is Pawnee. Will that stop them? Freedom will not come easily. One terrible night Cecile is forced to make a dreadful choice...
This book is the BEST of historical fiction EVER! Milliken has 3 copies, so one will always be there. I LOVE this book! It has adventure, girl power, a spice of romance, wilderness,history, and Pawnee lore. I'm sure a lot of u will agree with me.
sorry for mispellings, etc.
