The Beloved Wild
The Beloved Wild
by Melissa Ostrom
She's not the girl
everyone expects her to be.
Harriet Winter is the eldest daughter in a farming family in
New Hampshire, 1807. She is expected to help with her younger sisters. To pitch
in with the cooking and cleaning. And to marry her neighbor, the farmer Daniel
Long. Harriet’s mother sees Daniel as a good match, but Harriet doesn’t want
someone else to choose her path—in love or in life.
When Harriet’s brother decides to strike out for the Genesee
Valley in Western New York, Harriet decides to go with him—disguised as a boy.
Their journey includes sickness, uninvited strangers, and difficult emotional
terrain as Harriet sees more of the world, realizes what she wants, and accepts
who she’s loved all along.
