Walking Into The Wild

Three siblings walk up into the Republic of Vermont in 1782, in search of their father, captured earlier by Tories and Indians. They are determined to find not only their father, but for 16-year-old Rachel, an elusive fiancé whom her sister Deborah distrusts. Though the journey is wild, often lonely and filled with misadventure, there is fun and laughter, too, when the three encounter exuberant characters like Ethan Allen and a winsome young cobbler named Remember Jones. Told by 13-year-old Deborah, who has a secret she's been holding like a stone in her throat, Walking into the Wild is also the tale of a girl coming to terms with her conscience and her imperfections. For all three, including young Abel, it's a search for love and family.
