When Jennet Cordell is only 15, her father sells her into slavery to settle a debt. Meanwhile, in Michigan's vast white pine forests, Freeman Havlick finds that he cannot touch his land inheritance until he finds a wife. Both Jennet and Freeman get what they want out of their marriage of convenience---but neither expects to find love. This fast-paced Civil War-era frontier story, the first in The White Pines Chronicles, mixes adventure, romance, and sound values. 288 pages, softcover from Nelson.
