Synopsis

After her aunt's death, Métis woman Brigitte Marchal finds herself alone in Montreal. Uninterested in the convent and desperate to flee a loathsome suitor, she disguises herself as a young man to travel west by voyageurs' brigade in search of her long-absent, fur-trader father. But her inexperience and disguise don't hide her for long.

René Dufour yields to the unwelcome position of shielding Brigitte, but he cannot hide her identity forever. Keeping her safe while meeting his North West Company obligations and honoring his family promises may prove to be more disquieting to his heart than he imagined.

As Brigitte adjusts to the voyageur life on Lake Superior, she struggles to justify the faith she grew up in with the mysticism around her, but greater still is the conflict her heart must settle over who to trust in this rugged, unfamiliar country.

About this title

From the Author

This book has long lived in my heart. I first dreamed up Brigitte's story of finding love in the North American wilderness while sitting in a northern Wisconsin deer stand on a frigid November day long ago. I originally imagined Brigitte to come to the continent as one of the "King's Girls" sent from France to build a home in New France, but I soon realized that for authenticity and historical accuracy of the story setting (which is very important to me) my heroine would more likely be Metis, meaning Brigitte is of both French and Native American heritage. So Brigitte was born of an Ojibwe mother and French Canadian fur-trader father. Her adventure begins when she must escape a cruel suitor in Montreal, where most of her upbringing has been at the hands of an ailing aunt and the nuns from the Congregation of Notre-Dame. She wants nothing more than to flee her fate and find her missing father or return to her mother's people, but how is a woman to venture into the wilderness to do that alone? I hope you'll pick up or download a copy of Mist O'er the Voyageur to find out!
