"Spinster Elizabeth Middleton, 29 years old, arrives in a small colonial town in the United States called Paradise, with her father, Judge Middleton, and her brother, Julian. Settling down to a new life in the freedom of this new land, Elizabeth sets out to provide an education for all the town children, white, black, and Indian. Problems arise when Elizabeth's father, cash broke, sets out to arrange a marriage between his daughter and the wealthy local doctor, Richard Todd. Elizabeth, however, finds that she has fallen in love with Nathaniel Bonner, a white man who lives as a Mohican, also a widower. Marrying Nathaniel would grant him the land that he has been seeking to own for so long, Hidden Wolf, the land that he lives on with his family. Marrying Todd would hand Hidden Wolf over to him instead. Elizabeth takes matters into her own hands, and secretly elopes with Nathaniel, which causes much disapproval and shock amongst the townspeople, including the parents of her pupils, and her own family. But can the newly-wed couple keep Todd away from Hidden Wolf?" Matthew S., Resident Scholar
