Beschreibung
A servant girl escapes from a colonial settlement in the wilderness. She carries nothing with her but her wits, a few possessions, and the spark of god that burns hot within her. What she finds in this terra incognita will bend her belief in everything that her own civilization has taught her. A taut and electrifying novel.
