She Has Always Moved Between Worlds,
But Now She Must Choose a Side
The daughter of a Mohawk mother and French father in 1759 Montreal, Catherine Duval would rather remain neutral in a world tearing itself apart. Content to trade with both the French and the British, Catherine is pulled into the Seven Years' War against her wishes when her British ex-fiancé, Samuel Crane, is taken prisoner by her father. Samuel claims he has information that could help end the war, and he asks Catherine to help him escape.
Peace appeals to Catherine, even if helping the man who broke her heart does not. But New France is starving, and she and her loved ones may not survive another winter of conflict-induced famine. When the dangers of war arrive on her doorstep, Catherine and Samuel flee by river toward the epicenter of the battle between England and France. She and Samuel may impact history, but she fears the ultimate cost will be higher than she can bear.

My Thoughts:
Wow!! What an amazing book!
I loved this story.
This story takes place during the Seven Year's War in Kahnawake, Quebec. This story follows the life of Catherine Stands-Apart. Catherine's character immediately pulled me into this story. She shows her strength of character in the first few pages. With the death of her mother at a young age she leaves everything familiar and her tribe to go live with her father. This was her choice and she did it because she didn't want him to be alone. Catherine is a woman who lives in two very different worlds. She chose to live in her father's world, but easily moves within her mother's world. She has essentially taken over the running of her father's trading post and with that it has become more profitable. Catherine is a hard worker, but she has a tender heart. As the story progresses Catherine must finally make a choice, British or French side. All she knows is that she wants the war and strife to end. Life is hard enough just living day to day, but add war into that and it's so much harder. Choices can make life not only hard, but also deadly. Catherine's choice shows her as not being a victim, but as being a survivor.
This story is not a romance, but more of a drama as it centers around Catherine and her life choices. It brings complex and engaging characters that will tug on her heart strings. It brings elements of mystery, suspense, turmoil, romantic tension, and a rich backstory. This historical captures time and place accurately. Once I started this book I didn't want to put it down.
This is a book I would recommend to anyone who loves historical or just a good clean read.
