Amid braves, chiefs, spies and soldiers, a young French woman must hold her own to stay alive. Adelle Chaboillier risks everything to obey her God but the decision plunges her into the heart of a dangerous conspiracy involving the French forts and Native American tribes.

Reynard DuPree has sacrificed all for loyalty to his Wendat family. But one act of mercy drives him to another type of sacrifice, one he may not survive.

Adventure follows Jean Baptiste. Or is it the other way around? But in this escapade, a snare awaits that leaves a scar on his heart. He will never be the same.

Will Adelle be strong enough to save the men who are able to save her?

"I recommend this book not only to those that enjoy Christian novels, but to those interested in early American settlement and Indian culture. Once Upon a River has value as entertainment, evangelism, and historical research."
