Description
Lily Fairchild follows the life of a pioneer woman on the Canadian frontier over 77 years of her long life. She is witness to and a pawn of the great historical events of that period: the Underground Railroad, the clearing of the forest, the coming of the railroads, the discovery of oil, the two Riel Rebellions in the West and the flu pandemic of 1918. A story of love and survival.

Beautifully written story of one woman's lifetime in the Canadian wilderness from age seven until her death many decades later. I have not yet finished it because life intervenes, but I really want to as her story is so compelling. I really got to feel as if I know her through all of her struggles.
My only suggestions are to break it up into at least two books to keep it to a reasonable production cost (among other reasons) and because it is as daunting as Clan Of The Cave Bear in size.
I requested and received a free ebook copy from Independent Publishing via NetGalley. Thank you!
