Tamsen's Quest (Tamsen's Chronicle)

As a girl, she was scalped and left for dead. In the fall of 1723, an Abenaki raid shatters Tamsen’s life in a single afternoon. Her husband is killed, two daughters are taken, and she is left to care for seven children, run the farm, and endure a world that expects her to break. Tamsen refuses. She fights to hold her family together and bring her daughters home. At the same time, a vindictive man sets out to destroy what remains of her life. He has the law, political influence, and time on his side. Tamsen has only her grit and an iron will. Alongside her struggle is the story of her two daughters, captives deep in the wilderness, forced to survive among the people who took them and endure dangers no child should face. Richly drawn and emotionally powerful, this historical saga follows two women across the harsh New England and Canadian frontier, where survival is uncertain and failure could cost everything. Some women are shaped by hardship. Tamsen was already unbreakable before the fire came. Can she bring her daughters home before the wilderness swallows them whole? This well-researched, fact-based adventure tells the story of two remarkable women. Read a chapter or two to see why so many readers have found it so compelling. If you do, I’d be grateful if you shared a sentence or two about what you liked most. Thanks.
