Zusammenfassung:The year is 1670 and for Madeleine and Philippe Hébert who have come to search for their father, New France is an unknown land of deep forests and mightly waterways, of warfare over the fur trade, and of coureurs de bois and native peoples to whom the land is home. Cutting off her long tresses and with them her woman's identity, Madeleine joins her brother and Gabriel, a coureur de bois, in the long and arduous paddle and portage from Montreal up the Ottawa River to the French and finally to Lake Huron.
