Ride the Fire by Pamela Clare
medium-paced
5.0
Elspeth, or Bethie, Stewart is pregnant and alone in the Ohio frontier just as an Indian war (Pontiac's war) is breaking out. Nicholas Kenleigh comes across her and helps the widow as they both escape through the wilderness back to the safety of Fort Pitt. This is a beautiful story based on historical facts.
Nicholas was captured previous to this book by the Wyandot tribe and is deeply scarred both physically and emotionally by that experience. Bethie doesn't trust anyone but is forced to rely on Nicholas to help her return to safety. There's a lot of depth to both their characters that is gradually revealed in the book.
Pamela Clare writes some of the best historical fiction books, and this one may be my favorite.
