Fiction Friday: Mist O'er the Voyageur

Got cabin fever? Voyage to the rough and rugged land of the north.

Awhile back I had the privilege of reading an advanced copy of Naomi Musch’s tale of adventure set during the fur trader era of the 1800’s. Mist O’er the Voyageur is a story of love, betrayal, and survival in a sometimes unforgiving land. Here’s a blurb:

After her aunt's death, Métis woman Brigitte Marchal finds herself alone in Montreal. Uninterested in the convent and desperate to flee a loathsome suitor, she disguises herself as a young man to travel west by voyageurs' brigade in search of her long-absent, fur-trader father. But her inexperience and disguise don't hide her for long. 

René Dufour yields to the unwelcome position of shielding Brigitte, but he cannot hide her identity forever. Keeping her safe while meeting his North West Company obligations and honoring his family promises may prove to be more disquieting to his heart than he imagined.
