God's Country — Martha Barron Barrett

Feisty Anne Aiken MacKnight arrived on the shores of America alone and virtually a slave--indentured to the Glenn family who farmed a spread in eastern Pennsylvania.

What Anne found in the new world opened her eyes--here was an exciting land big enough for her dreams. As she grew, so did her aspirations, and soon her legendary odyssey began.

From Philadelphia across the Alleghenies... traveling the great rivers and traversing the lush wilderness... from the terrors of Indian attack to love with a bold frontiersman and at last the chance to build a strong family.

Anne's story is one of bravery and tears, of determination and survival--the personal story of an extraordinary woman who made America her land.

Unforgettable, dramatic, and compelling, GOD'S COUNTRY stands as a tribute to the people whose great courage and passion forged America.
