Apr's que son village a ?t? an?anti par une tribou ennemie, Genevi?ve Aubuchon, une orpheline abenakise, est adopt?e par une famille qu?b?coise. Elle s'inqui?te beaucoup au sujet de son fr?re a?n?, qui s'est joint ? une autre tribu ab?nakise afin d'aider les Fran?ais ? defendre la colonie contre les Anglais. Le pire est ? venir puisque la bataille des plaines d'Abraham semble imminente. Genevi?ve Aubuchon is born into an Abenaki tribe but is orphaned when another tribe destroys her village. She and her brother are taken to a convent in Qu?bec.While Genevi?ve gradually adapts to her new life with the sisters, her older brother runs away to rejoin the Abenaki.
