Can anyone help with this one, please? I read it years ago and loved it. I'd like to try some of the authors other works but can't remember who that may be!

Someone (a woman, I think) buys an old house in Scotland and during renovations discovers a notebook under the floorboards. It's the diary of a young Quaker in the 1700's who travels to Canada to find his sister, who has gone missing. The tale is all about his trials in the wilderness.
I can't even remember whether it's all fiction or based on a genuine journal.

All clues appreciated!

Thanks,
Chris
