When Mary's family sides with the British against the American rebels, they are branded traitors and forced to flee their home. All they have is what they can carry with them — and their determination and courage — when they head north toward Canada.

Even with supplies from Britain, clearing the land to build their home is a struggle... but one they survive to forge a new life in a new land.
