A Cradle in the Waves

Lucys curiosity has endless scope in Boston but when her family moves to a tiny northwest town shes stuck with mud and trees. With a mouth quicker than caution she soon betrays the only girl whos helped her defends a boy she resents and lands herself in the midst of a simmering stew of conflicts between settlers and Indians with sailors and miners swirling in the midst. A scalping a green-eyed farm boy and the nagging feeling that her mother is hiding something leave Lucy thinking a little boredom might be welcome.
