About this book
Deep snow and a damaged sled harness interrupt Bishop Joseph Winthrop's visit to a remote mountain community. Travelling with the French-Canadian storekeeper Arsene LaComb, he is bound for a confirmation service at French Village on Little Tupper. Their search for help brings the Bishop to Tom Lansing's cabin, where a distressed young girl, Ruth, is pleading with her unconscious father. Richard Aumerle Maher opens his frontier novel with practical hardship, exchanges about language and an urgent human need.
The wider story brings the Bishop into contact with lumber workers, a threatened community and pressure to sell land to a railroad. A confession amid a forest fire connects private conscience with the struggle over the hills. The combination of religious duty, local loyalties and danger gives readers a story about the demands of caring for people whose troubles reach beyond the church.
