Summary
It’s 1855 in Oregon City. Twelve year-old Biddy has survived an intolerable life of indenture by remembering two things: Adults can’t be trusted, and it’s best to be invisible. Due to an early trauma, she’s mute with no memory of her past. The man who holds her contract for indenture has evil plans for her, and he will stop at nothing to ensure his schemes come to fruition.
Things look hopeless for Biddy until she meets two school teachers, Brenna and Emily. From that moment on, these three lives become intricately entwined. Biddy’s new champions take desperate measures to ensure her safety. Life and death choices are made and these accelerate into an unanticipated conclusion. As is often the case in life, what was wished for is granted in a most unexpected way.
Victoria Murata has again embraced history to tell an enduring story of love and loss in our country’s not too distant past.
