Summary:
Follows the life of Laure Beausejour, a young French orphan who is transported to the new, but primitive, Canadian colony as part of a program sponsored by King Louis XIV that sent eight hundred young women abroad to marry settlers. From the moment she arrives in Ville-Marie (Montreal) Laure Beausejour is expected to marry and produce children with a brutish French soldier who himself can barely survive the harsh conditions of his forest cabin. But through her clandestine relationship with an allied Iroquois, she finds a sense of the possibilities in this New World. What happens to a woman who attempts to make her own life choices in such authoritative times?
