Resumen del Editor

Elizabeth and Nathaniel Bonner have settled into their life together at the edge of the New-York wilderness in the winter of 1794. But soon after Elizabeth gives birth to healthy twins, Nathaniel learns that his father has been arrested in British Canada. Forced to leave Hidden Wolf Mountain to help his father in Montreal, Nathaniel himself is imprisoned and in danger of being hanged as a spy.

In a desperate bid to save her husband, Elizabeth bundles her infants and sets out through the snowy wilderness and across treacherous waterways on the dangerous trek to Canada. But she soon discovers that freeing her husband will take every ounce of her courage and inventiveness - and will threaten her with the loss of what she loves most: her children.

Torn apart, the Bonners must embark on yet another perilous voyage, this time all the way across the ocean to the heart of Scotland, where a destiny they could never have imagined awaits them....

Brilliant

The narrator makes the story come alive. Her range of voices is terrific. I have been eagerly waiting to listen to this series as I read most of the books many years ago. I enjoyed it then and am loving it now.

all is not lost

Again we are taken on a wonderful journey. The listener will find their self laughing out loud at times. Shouting along at others. Crying when you least expect it. I'm looking forward to the next part of the journey.

Historical Fiction

Love the continuing story of the Bonners. Mention of real places and events helps to see it all in your minds eye.

Great great great

What made the experience of listening to Dawn on a Distant Shore the most enjoyable?

I read reviews about people not liking the second book as much as the first, but they never take into account that the first book is new, is an unknown story line, unknown characters etc. You have to go into the second book with that awareness. I really loved that this book picked up right where the last book left off. I loved the real emotions I felt when reading this. Genuine anger, happiness and one moment of utter shock and heartbreak. I love when I can feel the book and this one, like the last, gave me that.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I love all the characters, but who's favorite ISN'T Robbie!? He's just that lovable guy that is always there and cares way more for others than himself.

Any additional comments?

Definitely worth the read. I'm alternating between this series and "The Tea Rose" series (If you haven't read it, DO!!!) and I'm much anticipating returning to Elizabeth and Nathanial and family!!

great series

historical fiction and storytelling at it's best! Elizabeth is a great role model strong, loving, forgiving and patient.

Great historical fiction story!

If you like The Outlander series, you may enjoy this. The narrator is great, one of my favorites! Hope you enjoy as much as I did.
