Upper Canada, 1804, on the edge of Chippewa territory.

During her first bleak winter at the settlement of Baldoon, amidst staggering loss and hardship, fourteen year-old Flora MacCallum has a chance encounter with the son of a Chippewa chief. What begins by chance, soon manifests into a furtive friendship. In his company, Flora's dark view of the new world undergoes a rebirth as she awakens to the truth of her own spirit. With the threat of discovery looming over their every shared moment, truth, Flora knows, will come at a high price.

Set amid the privation of a struggling frontier settlement and a forested Chippewa camp, Anangokaa is the evocative coming-of-age story of a young woman who must determine what sacrifices she is willing to make for the life she desires to live.


"Deep and dramatic, this engrossing family story will haunt readers."

– Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"Anangokaa is an outstanding achievement."

– Ann Weisgarber, bestselling author of The Glovemaker

"Lyrical...Anangokaa embeds the experiences of Upper Canada’s early Scottish immigrants in the story of an enigmatic girl who comes of age in a foreign wilderness."

– Michele Sharpe, Foreword Reviews

"Flora’s fierce independence and brave heart guides her path through her first love, while navigating the tight social constraints of the times. Anangokaa is a must read for those familiar with the Baldoon Settlement, those who want to learn more about Ontario’s indigenous people and for everyone who cares about matters of the heart."

– Pam Wright, Journalist/Editor, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter/Chatham Voice

"A must-read for everyone interested in Canadian Indigenous history...the Baldoon experiment was a historical disaster, but the author ends her tale on a hopeful note. A remarkable love song to Indigenous peoples."

– Fiona Alison , Historical Novel Society

"Anangokaa is a beautiful and thought-provoking coming-of-age story, with the spirit and will to survive, love, and friendship, and outstanding characters."
