Into the Wilderness
by Sara Donati
This is an amazing novel for those who enjoy epic historical romances that are heavy in the drama and adventure. The novel has been compared to the Outlander series and rightfully so. Although, Donati can never surpass the incredible storytelling found in Outlander books, she managed to create a story that was compelling and riveting. Main character Elizabeth has emigrated to the Americas in the late 1700s to live with her father and brother. She calls herself a spinster and is only interested in pursuing her desire to build and teach in a schoolhouse. However, she has two men who begin to pursue her. Richard Todd is the doctor of the village. There is more to him than meets the eye. Nathaniel is part Mohican and his people have lived in the area before others. Both men are interested in Hidden Wolf Mountain. Elizabeth will find her heart entwined with one of them and so the adventure begins. Elizabeth holds the key to the land as she is the inheritor of this property. She will have some difficult choices to make, but remains a very strong female character.
Another big plus for this novel is that it carries over characters from Fennimore Cooper's The Last of The Mohicans. LOVED this novel. It will be placed on my favorite shelf as I grab for the second part of this series.
