    About this audiobook

    It's 1849, and twelve-year-old Addie lives in the shipbuilding town of Essex, Massachusetts. Her father has left the family to seek gold on the West Coast, and tragically the flux has ended the lives of her mother and baby brother, leaving Addie all alone. Fearful of being taken in as a servant, Addie flees from her house into the snowy woods, where she endures hunger and bitter cold until Nokummus, an elderly Wampanoag woman, coaxes Addie to her dwelling.

    Now living under the care of the mercurial old woman, Addie slowly recognizes the truth of her past. Through an intense ancient ceremony and by force of her own wits and will, Addie must come to grips with the facts of her newfound identity-and find the courage to build a future unlike any she could ever have imagined.

      Daughter of Winter is a coming of age story told in 1849 Massachusetts. Addie is a 12 year old girl living in Essex when both her mother and brother die of sickness. Addie’s father is on the West Coast and does not know what has happened back at home. It is up to Addie to keep her wits and overcome her childhood fears while waiting for her father’s return, if he returns at all! But Addie’s story is more complicated because of her secret hidden past. Her life’s history is not what she thought it was and it has now begun to re-enter her life. Can Addie cope with these events happening all at once or will they prove to be her undoing?
