Am looking for certain book; have looked all over web; romance fiction; know plot but not blurb. can u help?
The book was published before 1997. It’s a romance fiction . The plot is that young a woman marries either an indian or half-breed against father’s wishes. Eventually they have children (two boys) . Years later a jealous woman arranges for her to be drugged, kidnapped and imprisoned in a whorehouse. Her husband finds her much later after she has wasted away and lost her mind. He brings her back to her sons and the family. There was a tree that was very important to them that was central to the story. After she is found and returned to her family her and her husband lie under the tree and she recovers. She wasn’t described as a wild gun toting red head with reckless abandon. Please help, thanks.

Could this be it? In this plot, a woman marries a man against father’s wishes.
Into the Wilderness by Sara Donati
When Elizabeth Middleton, twenty-nine years old and unmarried, leaves her Aunt Merriweather’s comfortable English estate to join her father and brother in the remote mountain village of Paradise on the edge of the New York wilderness , she does so with a strong will and an unwavering purpose: to teach school. It is December of 1792 when she arrives in a cold climate unlike any she has ever experienced. And she meets a man different from any she has ever encountered — a white man dressed like a Native American, tall and lean and unsettling in his blunt honesty. He is Nathaniel Bonner, also know to the Mohawk people as Between-Two Lives.
Determined to provide schooling for all the children of the village, white, black, and Native American, Elizabeth soon finds herself at odds with local slave owners. Much to her surprise, she clashes with her own father, as well. Financially strapped, Judge Middleton has plans for his daughter — betrothal to local doctor Richard Todd. An alliance with Todd could extract her father from ruin but would call into question the ownership of Hidden Wolf, the mountain where Nathaniel, his father, and a small group of Native Americans live and hunt. As Judge Middleton brings pressure to bear against his daughter, she is faced with a choice between compliance and deception, a flight into the forest, and a desire that will bend her hard will to compromise and transformation. Elizabeth’s ultimate destiny, here in the heart of the wilderness, lies in the odyssey to come: trials of faith and flesh, and passion born amid Nathaniel’s own secrets and divided soul.
