- Synopsis
- Tamsen was eighteen when she left New York State and started on the long journey to the West to join her brother. The West was Detroit and the year was 1812. Letters were often months on their way, so Tamsen did not know that her brother had married and no longer needed her to keep house for him. Nor did she dream that the United States would soon be at war with Great Britain, but she learned to adapt herself to her sister-in-law's quiet antagonism and to endure the fear and turmoil of a city captured by the British and exposed to Indian attack. It took her longer to learn the answer to another problem. Two young men were in love with this slim dark-haired girl, who liked them both and loved neither. It was not until one of them, captured and injured by the Indians, was dragged through the Detroit streets and Tamsen was finally able to ransom him, that she understood her own heart. In those agonizing moments and the anxious days of nursing him back to health, her love grew strong and steady, like a candle in the night.
