The Last Runaway by Tracy Chevalier
Honor Bright, a modest English Quaker, moves to Ohio in 1850-only to find herself alienated and alone in a strange land. Sick from the moment she leaves England, she is forced by family tragedy to rely on strangers in a harsh, unfamiliar landscape. In her new home Honor discovers that principles count for little, even within a religious community meant to be committed to human equality. (synopsis from barnesandnoble.com)
