The story is set in Kentucky during the early 19th century, exploring themes of emigration, cultural clashes, and familial bonds. It delves into the life of a pioneer family as they navigate the challenges of settling in a new land, particularly focusing on the relationships between white settlers and Native Americans. The plot centers around Deacon Wilder's family, particularly his son Charlie, who suffers from homesickness as they move to the wilderness of Kentucky. Alongside them is Orianna, a Native American woman who forms a deep bond with Charlie. As the narrative unfolds, various subplots intertwine, including the dangers posed by hostile Indians and the romantic entanglements between characters such as George Wilder and Marian Gorton. The story ultimately examines themes of love, sacrifice, and belonging, culminating in a dramatic revelation that Orianna is intertwined with the Gorton family's past, further complicating their lives as they strive to find harmony amidst cultural differences.
