Maggie's Strength: Forts of Refuge - Book Two - Paperback

by Pegg Thomas (Author)

Maggie Kerr is a survivor. Taken captive at age eleven during the battle at Fort McCord, she's learned to adapt and to trust no one. Promised in marriage to a Huron warrior she fears, Maggie risks everything in a run for her freedom.

Content to ignore the rising animosity between the British and the Ottawa villagers he calls his friends, Baptiste Geroux plants his fields, limping behind his oxen and waiting for his brother to return from the west. Until the day a woman in danger arrives on his farm.

When more tribes join Pontiac in an all-out war, Maggie and Baptiste take refuge at Fort Detroit. He's distrusted for being French. She's scorned for being raised by the Hurons. Together they forge a fragile bond-until Maggie's past threatens their chance at happiness.
