Adapted from the book In the Heart of the Ancient Wood by G. D. Charles, Leisa and her mother Jean Lisette leave the safety of the Settlement and move to an abandoned homestead and cabin in the great woods. Leisa befriends many animals who grow to love and respect her, including a motherless bear cub. But all her beliefs are threatened when Dave Clemmins enters her life. Follow Leisa as she matures into a young woman in the woods and has to make a life-changing decision. (120pp. Masthof Press, 2007.)
