Wilderness wife
(Book - Large Print)

Regular print version previously published by Scrivenings Press.

"When life collapses around you in a single day, how do you continue living? Marguerite Wadin MacKay believes her 17-year marriage to explorer Alex MacKay is strong - until his sudden fame destroys it. When he returns from a cross-Canada expedition, he announces their frontier marriage is void in Montréal, where he plans to find a society wife - not one with native blood. Taking their son, MacKay sends Marguerite and their three daughters to a trading post where she lived as a child. Deeply shamed, she arrives in time to assist a young doctor, John McLoughlin, with a medical emergency. When Fort William on Lake Superior opens a school, Marguerite moves there for her daughters' sake and rekindles her friendship with Doctor McLoughlin. When he declares his love, she dissuades him from a match harmful to his career. She's mixed blood and nine years older. But he will have no one else. After abandonment, can a woman love again and fulfill a key role in North American history?"--,Provided by publisher.
