A strong, vivid historical novel set against the backdrop of the 1812 war between Britain and America. Fire Along the Sky is the story of one woman's unforgettable journey across a young nation threatened by the flames of war. The year is 1812 and Hannah Bonner has returned to her family's mountain cabin. But Nathaniel and Elizabeth can see that Hannah is not the same woman as when she left. For their daughter has come home without her husband and son, and with a story of loss and tragedy that she can't even bear to tell. Yet as Hannah resumes her duties as a gifted healer, she finds that she is slowly healing herself. Little does she realise that she is about to face her greatest challenge ever. Hannah is called away to the war to perform one final act of courage, duty and sacrifice. And in risking everything once more, she may learn to live - and even to love - again. Sara Donati's novel is passionate and compelling. It brilliantly captures the vigorous spirit of its young protagonist, and the setting is one of the most exciting and pivotal eras in American history.

But Nathaniel and Elizabeth Bonner can see that Hannah is not the same woman as when she left. For their daughter has come home without her husband and without her son…and with a story of loss and tragedy that she can't bear to tell. Yet as Hannah resumes her duties as a gifted healer among the sick and needy, she finds that she is also slowly healing herself. Little does she realize that she is about to be called away to face her greatest challenge ever. As autumn approaches, news of the latest conflict with Britain finds the young men of Paradise—including eighteen-year-old Daniel Bonner—eager to take up arms. Against their better judgment, Nathaniel and Elizabeth must let him go, just as they must let his twin sister Lily, a stubborn beauty, pursue her independence in Montreal. But on the eve of the War of 1812, an unexpected guest arrives from Scotland: It is the Bonners' distant cousin, the newly widowed Jennet Scott of Carryckcastle. Far from home, Lily and Jennet will each learn the price of pursuing their dreams and the possibility of true love. But it's Hannah herself who must risk everything once more—this time to save Daniel, who's been taken prisoner by the British. As the distant thunder of war threatens Paradise, Hannah may learn to live—and maybe love—again in one final act of courage, duty, and sacrifice."

if you are a reader who enjoys novels by Diana Galabdon - this series is for you - great historical fiction, love, war and everything in between - Ms Donati writes differently than Ms. Galabdon but catches your attention so that the reader "lives" parallel to the characters - I highly recommend this series of a family in early New York state.

Captivating saga
You should start with first book, "into the Wilderness". The series is a powerful adventure story and really holds your attention. The series is ongoing, with another book soon to come out. I higly recommend this series.

Continuing adventure saga
This is the 4th book of a great series covering several branches & generations of an early pioneering mohawk/white family in New York state from 1700's. It is not just a great read but draws you in to experience their lives, adventures, romances, achievements and disappointments. Each book has been a 'can't put down' read and this one is no exception! At the close of the last page it is a must to obtain the next one in the series to continue sharing in this family's experiences as they live through the extraordinary times of their lives. Alibris has provided the vehicle to obtain the last 3 of the series, this one and also the next one, all at affordable prices and reliable shipping delivery. I am coming to the end of this wonderful book but it is not the end of the tale......I can hardly wait to start the next one in the series that Alibris have once again delivered. Not just a read but an experience!
