The Woman Who Fell from the Sky — Barbara Riefe

Beautiful aristocratic Margaret Addison is swept from the glittering world of 17th-century England into the harsh frontier American colonies and a maelstrom of passion and violence.

The sole survivor of a Mohawk massacre, she is rescued and adopted by the Oneidas, who agree to escort her to Quebec and her French fiancé. In the months that pass, she gains a warrior's fierceness, to defend her companions; a shaman's rituals and medicines, to sustain health and spirit; and finds a woman's awakening and fulfillment in the strong arms of a handsome brave.

But all her newfound wisdom cannot prepare her for an agonizing choice: to honor her long-sought betrothed or trade her heritage for her lover's alien culture.
