Winona; or the Foster-sisters

Winona, first serialized in a Montreal story paper, provides a gripping plot, a suggestive range of female characters, and a surprisingly sympathetic villain. The novel focuses on the lives of two foster sisters raised in the northern Ontario wilderness: Androsia Howard, daughter of a retired military officer, and Winona, the daughter of a Huron chief. The suspenseful story unfolds in and around Toronto and the Thousand Islands and employs the classic elements of sensation fiction: family secrets, bigamy, violence, and an implacable detective.Crawford, Isabella Valancy is the author of 'Winona; or the Foster-sisters ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781551117096 and ISBN 1551117096.
