– Beverly Swerling, author of Bristol House “Intensely observant, unsentimental but full of emotion, THIEVING FOREST paints a raw picture of pioneer life.” “A gripping journey a powerful tale of sisterhood and survival.” “The depths of the issues considered, the wealth of historical detail, the realistic descriptions of the never ending forests and the creatures living there, and the actual story line all combine to make Thieving Forest a great read.” “Conway’s historical novel features prose as rich as its characters.” “The scope of this old-fashioned pioneer adventure yarn is also impressive, and the full arc of Conway’s characters’ development, combined with a satisfying ending, is memorable.” It paints a fascinating new picture of pioneer life among Native American communities, while telling a gripping tale of survival. What follows is a young woman’s quest to save her sisters and the parallel story of her sisters’ new lives.įast-paced and richly detailed, Thieving Forest explores the transformation of all five women as the Quiners contend with starvation, slavery, betrayal, and love. With both her parents dead from Swamp Fever and all the other settlers out in their fields, Susanna rashly decides to pursue them herself. ON A HUMID MORNING IN 1806, seventeen-year-old Susanna Quiner watches helplessly from behind a tree while a band of Potawatomi Indians kidnaps her four older sisters from their cabin.
