Synopsis

Across a new land, a bold mix of people and a girl with a quiet strength collide in a frontier city.

This historical novel follows Winnipeg’s early years as a vibrant crossroads, where settlers, traders, and immigrants seek opportunity, belonging, and a brighter future.

Set against a bustling prairie backdrop, the story threads together a city on the edge of the world and the communities that shape it. From crowded quarters and hopeful arrivals to ambitious ventures and daring journeys, it invites readers to feel the pull of land, liberty, and the people who keep pushing forward.

• Meet a diverse cast of neighbors who build communities in the shadow of the prairie, from long-standing pioneers to newcomers from many lands.
• Follow lives shaped by resilience, family ties, and the quest for a place to call home.
• Experience the tension between old loyalties and new possibilities as individuals navigate love, work, and ambition.
• See how a frontier town becomes a stage for personal growth, courage, and social change.

Ideal for readers who enjoy historical fiction that blends cultural snapshots with frontier spirit, and for anyone curious about how cities grow from raw promise into lasting communities.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Western Canada there is to be seen to-day that most fascinating of all human phenomena, the making of a nation. Out of breeds diverse in traditions, in ideals, in speech, and in manner of life, Saxon and Slav, Teuton, Celt and Gaul, one people is being made. The blood strains of great races will mingle in the blood of a race greater than the greatest of them all. It would be our wisdom to grip these peoples to us with living hooks of justice and charity till all lines of national cleavage disappear, and in the Enttt of our Canadian national life, and in the Unity of our world-wide Empire, we fuse into a people whose strength will endure the slow shock of time for the honour of our name, for the good of mankind, and for the glory of Almighty God.
