About this ebook
The Shire family had settled over the mountains to begin a new life, until the bitter fury of the French and Indian War violently fell upon them. This captivating novel details the experiences of a young man, Tavin Shire, as he begins his trek across the Pennsylvania wilderness to liberate his two sisters from a Lenape Indian raiding party, only to discover that the woman he loves has also been taken. Facing the challenges of his own limitations, savagery within both Indian and White cultures, faltering courage, and his wavering faith in God, Tavin is caught between the ideals he clings to and the reality of a world at war. As the frontier explodes in brutality, the lore of the wild draws Tavin back time and time again. Struggling to discover who he is and how God can be good in the midst of the burning ashes of loss and grief, he ultimately discovers life changing truth. The magnificent and the tragic collide and meld into the unimaginable, providing a friend closer than a brother, a love to last a lifetime, and a family only God could conceive.
