The fifth volume in the Forging a Nation series begins in 1791. The year a new province is created in the country that will one day be called Canada. The year Hope Cobmans life turns around. At thirteen, she must leave the orphanage where she has lived since her mothers death one year ago. Alone in the world, she dreams of finding her father and three brothers all complete strangers to her, for even before her birth the American Revolution had scattered her family. Forced into becoming an indentured servant, she is little more than a slave to a lonely man and his bitter, crippled mother. Finally set free, she sets off on her own. But instead of finding a father and a brother who will take care of her, she learns that it is up to her to help them recover from the wounds of war. Along the way, she discovers her own strength. For Hope, and for all the Loyalists of Upper Canada, a brighter future lies ahead.
