Fidelia Grace Nelson, nicknamed Foxy for her thick red hair and wild nature, came to America in the 1700s to help populate the new settlement of Savannah, Georgia. Though disappointment reigned supreme in this new land, Foxy’s good nature buoyed everyone as she grew. Then she fell in love with her best friend, Maggie.
It was a difficult love, as a relationship between two women would not further their families’ plans for success, but Foxy was determined to make it happen. Such a love, however, was not to be.
Brokenhearted, Foxy escapes into the wilderness of uncharted lands. This sets in motion a life of hard work, tragic love among the native Cree people, and eventual prosperity. Her plantation, Trapper’s Folly, near the port of New Orleans, becomes well respected for its humanitarian ethics and excellent management.
Though doing well, Foxy, now middle-aged, realizes that she is lonely. To escape this feeling, she travels back to Georgia, only to find everything very different from before. Will love be waiting there for her?
This epic novel takes the reader to the early days of America and shares the adventures of a powerful frontier woman who summarily beats the odds and thrives despite adversity.
