Where does the bolt of Cupid fall? Not where it should, some say. Jennet Ferguson is a Scotch immigrant. Her family are pioneer settlers in Uxbridge, Canada West, 1845. William Ferguson, Jennet's brother, introduces her to the Mohawk. He is Squire, son of David. The attraction between Jennet and Squire is immediate but the course of true love never did run smooth. Irascible families, cultural diff erences, separation, American slave snatchers, the rebellious Markham Gang and, worst of all, other lovers are the obstacles that threaten to deflect Cupid's bolt and crush the budding romance.

"No one understands culture like Minsos. A great yarn. Entertaining, absorbing, wicked."

- Mel Hurtig, author of The Truth About Canada
