It's 1939, and the world is at the precipice of war.  But life for one young man in rural America couldn't be better.  Jonathon Blackwell is the eldest son of the most powerful family in town and heir to Blackwell Iron and Mining.  Unlike many who struggled to survive the final years of the Great Depression, he has everything he could ever want - except the one thing he desires most.

Sheltered by class, privilege, and living inside a locked iron fence meant to protect him, no one could ever imagine anything terrible could happen to him, but dark times are coming.  Fate is about to play it's cruel hand, and when it's all over, the world, the country, and young Jonathon will be changed forever.

The much anticipated prequel to the 2014 Watty award winning and Wattpad featured story, The Boy in the Woods!   This is Jonathon's story, and it just may break your heart...

Best Ranking:
Historical Fiction #4

Note:  Even though this story takes place before  events in The Boy in the Woods, it's intended to be read AFTER because it wraps up the last of the mysteries of that story.   A gentle warning - many spoilers and much confusion lie ahead if you decide to start with this one.  :)

{WATTYS 2020 WINNER} {FEATURED BOOK} Paris, 1663. 500 girls selected by King Louis XIV embark on a journey across the seas from their homeland. Each is given a dowry, and the expectation that they are to marry a French settler, in order to increase the population of New France. They are the historic Daughters of the King, or "les filles du roi." Eighteen-year-old Celeste Dubois is a free-spirited, educated and headstrong girl. She comes from a wealthy Parisian family that has squandered their money and is subsequently forced to journey to New France. However, Celeste doesn't plan on marrying a complete stranger. She hopes to use the dowry and the free voyage as a way to escape the poverty and social ranks of Paris. Matters are complicated when against her will, she falls in love. Romantic, kind and stunningly beautiful Lorraine Leblanc is a girl from a large family with children to spare. Unlike Celeste, she happily dreams of the day she will meet her future husband in New France. When she marries a mysterious widower with two young children of his own and still reeling after his broken heart, she realizes that married life isn't all she had hoped it would be, and begins to question her new husband's complicated past. - Wattpad Picks Blast to the Future Past list 2018 - The 50 Best Wattpad Stories of 2018/19 by Design Wizard - 2018 Youngblood Awards Winner (Romance) - 2018 True North Awards 2nd place for Historical Fiction and 2nd place Truly Canadian special category award - Featured by Wattpad Historical Fiction profile under Kings, Courtships and Empires, Young Adult Fiction profile under Love, Actually and Romance profile under Time will Tell *Please be aware that since this book covers the colonial period, it does contain sensitive themes of racism and violence that readers will find disturbing.
