Book Summary:

After the 1637 Mohegan / Pequot War, orphaned Hannah is left with a vile and amoral man who evades the local magistrates under the guise of establishing a plantation in southeastern Connecticut. She and the missionary group are sent to bring Christianity to the local tribes under an English charter that guarantees each family a homestead at the end of seven years. But instead of living a Godly, noble life, Hannah finds herself hostage of unbearable religious dogma and a patriarchal society. She could not fathom the omniscience of God as she witnessed the brutality of man upon man. But Hannah discovers God's grace as He leads her into the uncharted territories of the new world. She was a child bride, a woman captive, and a woman triumphant!

Karen is a U.S. Army veteran and a graduate of Southern Illinois University where she earned her B.S. in Workforce Education and Development.
