Description
The Forsaken Cabin was written by Alice Christianson; a main character from the tetralogy Yuletide Blessing by Samantha Kennedy, which is centred on the city of Seattle. Alice is the seven year old daughter of Mary, who also features as a main character in the four volumes.
Both Alice Christianson and Samantha Kennedy are nom de plumes for the author Victor Paul Bennett.
As part of the storyline in Yuletide Blessing, The Forsaken Cabin was serialised in the Seattle Times prior to its publication as a book. Amy Reinhart, who is a journalist and art critic for the paper, and a friend of Mary’s, featured the story in her Tuesday column.
The Forsaken Cabin story centres around three orphans; Porsche, who is nine, her brother Jack seven, and his friend Angela also seven. Alice bases Angela’s character on herself, and the other two are her friends, who are also characters from the novel Yuletide Blessing.
Porsche was compelled by circumstances to orchestrate an immediate escape from the orphanage, and the getaway included her brother and Angela. After hours of trekking during the darkness with only the moon to illuminate their path, they eventually end up at an abandoned cabin deep in the forest, which forms part the Grand Teton National Park in the state of Wyoming. They befriend a mother grizzly bear and her two cubs. They encounter illegal hunters, a ferocious male bear and an initially hostile sheriff, but things turn out better for them as the book progresses. The three become four, when they meet Solomon, a nine year old boy whose father owns the local town’s general store. Their adventures continue as events unfold throughout the book.
