Book description
In the early 1800s, Rachel Greenhow, a young Quaker, goes missing in
the Canadian wilderness. Unable to accept the disappearance, her brother
Mark leaves his farm in England, determined to bring his sister home.
What follows is a gripping account of Mark's odyssey and his travels
with the voyageurs - the men who canoe Canada's fur-trade route. As
adventure and discovery propel the plot forward, Elphinstone takes the
reader back in time and intertwines the story with enduring themes of
love, war and family ties.
