Genre: Historical Fiction
Travel through the uncharted midwest landscape with Adeliade Henry, a young woman with a deep and mystical secret, who is searching to escape her tragedy and be one of the “lone women” who makes good on the government’s promise of land to anyone brave enough to tame and homestead it.
My advice: This book has a magical, mystical element that takes it beyond traditional historical fiction.
