Weaving a vibrant tapestry of fact and fiction, Into the Wilderness sweeps us into another time and place...
and into the heart of a forbidden, incandescent affair between a spinster Englishwoman and an American
frontiersman. Here is an epic of romance and history that will captivate listeners from the start.
When Elizabeth Middleton, 29 years old and unmarried, leaves her Aunt Merriweather's comfortable English
estate to join her father and brother in the remote mountain village of Paradise on the edge of the New York
wilderness, she does so with a strong will and an unwavering purpose: to teach school.
It is December of 1792 when she arrives in a cold climate unlike any she has ever experienced. And she meets
a man different from any she has ever encountered - a white man dressed like a Native American, tall and lean
and unsettling in his blunt honesty. He is Nathaniel Bonner, also known to the Mohawk people as Between-Two-
Lives.
Determined to provide schooling for all the children of the village - white, black, and Native American -
Elizabeth soon finds herself at odds with local slave owners. Much to her surprise, she clashes with her own
father as well. Financially strapped, Judge Middleton has plans for his daughter - betrothal to local doctor
Richard Todd. An alliance with Todd could extract her father from ruin but would call into question the
ownership of Hidden Wolf, the mountain where Nathaniel, his father, and a small group of Native Americans
live and hunt.
