Two sisters alone on the Kentucky frontier…love is the last thing they expect to find.

After the death of their parents during the Hard Winter, Margaret and her sister have struggled to survive. Between her mother’s dying wish that Margaret protect her sister and the nagging sensation that they are not alone, guilt and worry are her constant companions.

And if someone is following them, is their watcher friend or foe?

Iain Donegal can’t afford roots, not with the pain and guilt of the life he’s left behind or the memory of the drink that once threatened to consume him. But his solitary life as a long hunter in the wilds of Kentucky finds a new path when he happens upon a young woman digging a grave for her own mother. Unable to pull himself away when he realizes that she and her sister are on their own, he begins to provide anonymous aid.

But when the women truly need him, can he risk leaving his solitary life behind to step in and fill the void?

My Thoughts on Redemption in the Wilderness

Redemption in the Wilderness is a lovely historical fiction novel that reads quickly and sweetly. I thoroughly enjoyed it.  It is also part of the Frontier Hearts series.  

It takes you back to 1700s Kentucky.  Two sisters survived the hard winter but buried their parents.  But then what if the danger didn’t end?  Someone is out there.  Someone is following them.  But is it friend or foe?

Our main male character lives a solitary life.  He’s a long hunter and off on his own.  When he stumbles onto the girls digging the hole to bury their mother he starts observing them and being their benefactor of sorts.  But when they need help that will make him reveal himself will he do it to save them?

This was a fun book.  Before I go further, this is part of a series, but the series is designed so that each book can be read as a stand-alone novel on its own.  I thoroughly enjoyed this one and hope you do too!

More from Andrea

One of my favorite aspects of being a historical fiction author is learning new tidbits of information with each novel I pen.

Not only have I always loved learning, but I also harbor a deep passion for novels that incorporate real places and events. In Redemption in the Wilderness, I was blessed with the opportunity to research the beginnings of Harrodsburg, KY. This town was founded in 1774 as Harrodstown by James Harrod. What began mainly as a civilian fort with the building of Fort Harrod has endured more than 200 years of Kentucky’s rich history. Tourists and locals alike can still visit a replica of Fort Harrod today. And, you, yourself, can visit the original fort in Redemption in the Wilderness.

Beyond historical places and events, I also always find myself on a search engine with the strangest little inquisitions. Such as… What plants are native to Kentucky? When do said plants bloom? And which can be used as a natural remedy for this particular ailment? With this novel, I found that feverfew, a native Kentucky wildflower, was so aptly named because early settlers used this native plant to reduce fever. I cannot wait for you to see what role it played for the characters in Redemption in the Wilderness.

    It has been a while since I read a book set during the 1700s. I think I’ll enjoy this story about survival on the frontier.
