A rugged mountain girl, Tanis, must choose between a life in the valley she loves and the wild country that owns her heart.
In a snow-kissed frontier town, a young woman named Tanis faces a turning point as she prepares to leave behind the people and plans she has known. Amid delicate glances and careful words, the story follows her steadfast sense of belonging to her mountains and her need to keep a vow she has made. The mood blends quiet tenderness with hard-earned courage, painting a world where love, duty, and home pull in different directions.
Through intimate conversations and stark, vivid landscapes, the book explores how a single decision can reshape lives. It centers on the tension between loyalty to family and a longing for independence, all set against a backdrop of communal warmth and fragile hope.
Ideal for readers drawn to frontier-era drama, strong female leads, and stories about fierce attachments to land and kin.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an intrepid study of Tanis, a wild mountain girl living in the unforgiving wilderness of the Appalachian foothills. Her world and perspectives are brought into stark relief by her meeting with George Gilman, a worldly and cultured man from Boston, who encounters her during a survey expedition. This book delves into the complex relationship between Gilman and Tanis, a study of affection, repulsion, and misunderstanding, as Tanis's untamed nature is juxtaposed against the strict societal mores of the time. The author vividly recreates the harsh, yet beautiful world of the Appalachian Mountains, exploring the allure and dangers that lie in wait. This book sheds light on the clash between two vastly different ways of life, and the challenges of bridging the gap between them.
