Divided by the opposing sides
of the American Revolution, English-bred frontiersman John
Nash and daughter of His Majesty's loyal officer, Rebecah
Brent, must fight to overcome the obstacles to their love
and future together. This novel paints with vivid description
the invigorating freshness of life in the colonies and the
stifling caste system of eighteenth-century England. Rebecah
is a character the reader falls in love with, being confident
of herself yet full of kindness to those who would wrong her.
Her faith in God grows as she encounters John Wesley, and
the reader is all the more eager for her to succeed in her
endeavours. At the same time, John Nash is embroiled in the
Indian wars in the colonies, far from his beloved.
This novel shows in depth
knowledge of history, exquisite attention to detail, and an
intricate plot. At times it moves slowly, but is rewarding
nonetheless.
