A Country for Castoffs
A Home in the Wilderness, Paperback
A Home in the Wilderness, Paperback
It is June 10, 1663 and Etienne is running through a field of wild pasture, startling a flock of grouse into the air amid a frenzy of feathers and squawking, as he heads toward a double wedding in town. He has no idea that the ceremony will be interrupted with the news of a Native American attack on the Dutch settlement up north, the consequences of which will turn his world upside down threatening his family, community, and Lenape friends. He must choose – protect his new friends or defend his community. Both choices demand great sacrifice and risk the lives of those he loves.

"Compelling, respectful novel of 17th century Native Americans and Dutch settlers." - BookLife Reviews
“My excitement increased with each page I read because the amount of action and raw emotions drew me into the story.” – Readers’ Favorite Review
