The Mists of Manittoo: A Reissue

THE MISTS OF MANITTOO, the first book in THE DOWLAND TRILOGY, is a fascinating tale of a revolutionary love breaking barriers of culture, race, language, and class. Set in colonial Massachusetts, Elizabeth Dowland, a land heiress, runs in despair from a marriage contract with the minister of Sweetwood, and finds a life of happiness, meaning and independence with Silent Fox, the gentle Indian who saves her life. Beth's joyful commitment to a totally new way of life embraces plural marriage and the struggle to reconcile her family to this ideal union, a vision of love in its truest sense.
