1875 Poet and lighthouse keeper, Phillis Monroe, deeply enjoys the solitude necessary to explore the spiritual and mystical side of life. She loves how her half sisters call her the mystic of Mystic, Connecticut. So why is she this eager to pursue the boxer from the Pequot reservation in Noank? Benjamin Baker, known as Awahsohs to his tribe in Noank, and as Bear to nearly every boxer from New York to Boston, is caught in a fight beside his uncle’s church. His mother and uncle send him away to the Brotherton Movement in upstate New York. But he doesn’t become the man of the cloth that everyone hopes him to be. He leaves his four years of instruction to pursue the young woman whose poetry makes more sense to him than all the teachings of that seminary. But how could a mystic ever love a fighter?
