Laurie is still looking for this book:

"Adult historical fiction - Loyalist family escaping to Canada by canoe during Amer. Revolution

Listened on audiobook in late 1990s-early 2000s. Thought it was by Robertson Davies, but I can’t find it in any list of his works. The family had at least one daughter in her teens or early twenties."

Marsha, do you think this book is for kids, teens or adults?
