About this book

A young woman and her lover are marooned on an island in this historical novel set during an expedition to New France. Marguerite, heir to a fortune and raised in privilege, is orphaned and placed under the care of a volatile guardian who squanders her inheritance. When she is accused of betrayal during the expedition, she is brutally punished and abandoned alone on a small island. Stripped of her former life of wealth and fine clothing, Marguerite must contend with the harsh natural environment. As winter arrives and ice covers the island, she discovers a faith she had never previously needed. Inspired by the true story of a sixteenth-century woman, the novel follows her struggle for survival.
