Beautifully written, page turning, Harcourt's Mountain by Elaine Dodge,will stay with you long after you have turned the last page.
The year is 1867. In the small town of Silver Birch Landing, on the westernmost edge of British Columbia, the notorious 'Bride' ship lies at anchor. Amid the noise and stench, a terrified Hope Booker, along with other filthy, confused women, await their fate.
They will be sold at auction into a life of slavery and prostitution. Hope is fortunate enough to be purchased by the gentlemanly, Luke Harcourt, who is making a living far away from civilization.
Under Luke's guidance, Hope gradually adapts to her new life,in the wilderness, surrounded by Indians, wolves, and mountain bears; they fall deeply in love. But all is not well. Luke suddenly disappears, and Hope finds herself alone and pregnant; facing danger at every turn, as she struggles to survive. Trapped inside the cabin with a hungry grizzly bear,Hope goes into labour and is forced to fight for her life and that of her baby. Will she survive? Will Luke find his way back to her?
