Into the wilderness / Sara Donati.

Originally published: 1998.

In December 1792, Elizabeth Middleton, twenty-nine years old, unmarried and fiercly independent, leaves England for a remote mountain village in the wilderness of New York. She does so with a strong will and an unwavering purpose: to establish a school for all the village children - white, black and Native American - a purpose which sets her at odds not only with local slave owners, but her own father. Judge Middleton has planned to marry her off to local doctor Richard Todd, in an exchange that will save the Middletons from financial ruin. But Elizabeth finds herself fascinated by a different man - Nathaniel Bonner, a white man dressed like a Native American, also known to the Mohawk people as 'Between-Two-Lives'.
