Lindsay is joined by author Cinda Gault to discuss her book, “A Small Compass.”

In 1806, Isobel Gunn is staring down the inevitability of a spinster’s farm life in the Orkney Islands, Scotland, often referred to as the Island of Women.  At the same time and across the ocean in Maskinongé, Quebec, Marie-Anne Gaboury is facing the prospect that her dashing new coureur de bois husband will leave her a fur trade widow when he returns west to the wilderness. Both women launch themselves on perilous voyages that will change them forever and transform them into legends. A Small Compass is the story of the first two women to venture into the Canadian wilderness, where they meet and must help each other battle what they know and what they don't to defend all they love.
