What to expect
Virginia, 1749. Rosanna Waters is more comfortable catching grasshoppers for fishing bait than helping her Mama with the washing. After one defiance too many ends in terrible tragedy, Rosanna learns that some wildness comes with a price too terrible to pay.
Now with her mother crippled and her family depending on her, Rosanna must abandon her wayward spirit. Then Callum Stewart arrives, a Scottish boy with hair like autumn fire. In him, Rosanna recognises something that calls to the part of herself she’s trying so hard to bury, until war tears them apart.
As revolution engulfs the colonies, Rosanna has carved out a life in the unforgiving backcountry – eight children, a working farm, and a hard-won independence. But when the war arrives at her doorstep, threatening everything she's built and everyone she loves, Rosanna must decide how far she's willing to go to protect her family and – come face to face with the boy who stole her heart years ago.
