About Tamsen’s Quest (Tamsen’s Chronicle Book 1) by Charles Ross:
New Hampshire colony, 1723. Tamsen is content living on their rented farm with her large family when the Abenaki kill her husband and steal two of her daughters. Now a widow, she is courted by two men. She refuses the rich and vain Thomas Waldron, who vows revenge. John, the other suitor, proposes as Waldron buys her farm and sets to drive her from the colony. The Governor replies to her letter saying he does not know the whereabouts of her daughters.
Her resourceful daughter, Rachel, taken by the Abenaki, saves a warrior’s life, learns Abenaki, is taught Indian healing ways, and becomes trusted by the tribe. Always, searching for her sister, Anne, Rachel arrives at the Indian village and treats the sick. The tribe’s Shaman, who despises all English, throws a tomahawk at her back.
“Connoisseurs of historical fiction will take delight in Tamsen’s Quest, the debut novel from Charles Ross. This astonishing story of two unforgettable women, a mother and daughter separated by cataclysmic events in pre-revolutionary New England, is both powerful and enlightening.”
