Synopsis

Award-Winning Historical Fiction (2026 Great Southeast Book Festival – Fiction Winner)

A widowed woman with nothing left to lose.
A grieving farmer barely holding on.
A grueling trail and raw new frontier where survival is never guaranteed.
In the spring of 1837, Louisa, boards a creaking prairie schooner and leaves Pennsylvania for the Black Hawk Purchase, a wild, unsettled corner of what will one day become Iowa. Penniless, childless, and newly widowed, she expects little from the world. But the frontier has a way of reshaping a life. Her brother-in-law, Isaac, grieving his own shattering loss, finds himself drawn into an unexpected partnership as they attempt to claim land, raise a cabin, and survive a year of relentless weather, human predators, fever, despair, and rare moments of grace. Living side-by-side in a one-room cabin, Louisa and Isaac learn to read each other’s silences, share the back-breaking work of a farm that may never be theirs, and forge a bond neither planned. When brutal realities threaten everything they’ve built, each must decide whether this hard, beautiful land can truly become home.
A deeply researched novel of early Iowa settlement, Sweet Fields Beyond is a tender story of resilience, moral conscience, unexpected wonders, and the slow, quiet growth of love where it is least expected.

À propos de l'auteur

NANCY JOHNSTON HALL, a medical journalist with a special interest in the history of medicine, was inspired to write a fictionalized version of her own ancestors' stories who were among the first settlers in the Blackhawk Territory of (now) southeastern lowa. She carefully researched period customs, language, medicine and culture to ensure historical authenticity, drawing from women's journals, original documents, lowa frontier records, and an evocative letter from her great-great-grandmother, passed down through the generations. She lives with her husband, deep in a woods near Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
