Elizabeth Boyer's historical novel is based on an actual survivor's story. Marguerite and her elderly nurse are left to die on a island off the coast of Canada. Her guardian announces that she had disgraced him and is no longer a virgin. No one appeals her unjust sentence on trumped up charges. The young man who had hoped to marry her shares her exile. Together the three people, none of them trained in farming or house building struggle to erect shelter, and plant crops before winter comes.
