This book is about a woman who marries a survivalist and goes to live with him in his cabin which happens to be on Native American land (could be Native Canadian, can’t recall which it is). She lives with him until he dies in a bear attack. The local tribal leaders inform her that she must leave since she doesn’t have permission to live on tribal land (her husband did have permission). They send a young man to escort her off their land but she ends up having sex with him and she conceives a child. She is then allowed to remain on tribal land. There is a whole lot more to the story but these are the essentials.
