Two brothers face a harsh winter alone. Can they survive the wilderness?
Young brothers Daniel and Will are left to guard their new homestead while their father fetches the rest of the family. When he doesn't return as planned, the boys must brave a harsh winter with limited supplies. As they rely on their wits to survive, they begin to suspect they might not be alone in the woods. Can they endure the wilderness and uncover the truth before it's too late?
After clearing enough forest to build a log cabin for their new home, Pa returns east to fetch the rest of the family, while young brothers Daniel and Will stay behind to watch the land. Pa had planned to return within six weeks . . . but something must have gone wrong. Now the boys must survive the winter with only a few supplies and their ability to invent and improvise. But are they alone in the woods? Jean Van Leeuwen’s engrossing novel of pioneer survival is based on a true incident.
