Thieving Forest — Martha Conway

"An extraordinary new historical novel."
-- Akron Beacon Journal

"A powerful tale of sisterhood and survival."
-- San Jose Mercury News

”Conway's historical novel features prose as rich as its characters ... hypnotic.” -- Kirkus Reviews

On a humid day in June 1806, on the edge of Ohio's Great Black Swamp, seventeen-year-old Susanna Quiner watches from behind a maple tree as a band of Potawatomi Indians kidnaps her four older sisters from their cabin. With both her parents dead from Swamp Fever and all the other settlers out in their fields, Susanna makes the rash decision to pursue them herself. What follows is a young woman's quest to find her sisters, and the parallel story of her sisters' new lives.

Thieving Forest explores the transformation of all five sisters as they contend with starvation, slavery, betrayal, and love. Fast-paced and richly detailed, Thieving Forest is a riveting novel that demonstrates the true wildness of the wilderness, and the rugged perseverance of those who find themselves there.
