Book Synopsis

A beautifully written historical novel, this is the inspiring story of a French widow thrust alone into the New World after her husband's savage murder.

America. L'Amérique.

A foreign land threatens to take French-born Vittorie LeClerc's love during a revolution and ultimately succeeds during questionable peace. She watches his last breath evaporate into nothing, leaving her to survive with only her will, a knife and a few gold buttons.

With the help of a mysterious man of the woods and other pioneers, Vittorie navigates uncharted territory, language barriers, fractious warring nations, suspicious settlers, underground slave kings, and a burgeoning new government.

Based on true events and historical figures during and after the Revolutionary War, American Wild is the unforgettable story of a woman's odyssey into significance, a searchlight into heart, mind, history, and spirit.
