The Endless Forest

A rich, passionate, multi-layered portrayal of family strength and endurance in the New York frontier of the 19th century.

The spring of 1824 is a challenging one for the inhabitants of Paradise when a flood devastates the village. But for Nathaniel and Elizabeth Bonner, it's also a time of reunion as their children return from far-off places—Lily from Italy and Martha, their ward, from Manhattan—bringing with them troubles that will reverberate in all their lives.

As the family struggles to rebuild, Martha and her childhood friend Daniel suddenly begin to see each other in a new light. But their growing bond is jeopardised when Martha's mother arrives back in Paradise, a decade after abandoning her daughter. Jemima Southern is a dangerous schemer who has destroyed more than one family, and her anger touches everyone, as do her secrets. Has Jemima come to claim her daughter, or does she have something else in mind?

Whatever happens, Martha and Daniel and all the Bonners must stand united against the threats to both heart and home.

The Endless Forest is a powerful adventure story set in a gorgeous, vividly described American landscape.
