Spirit of Appalachia #4
Beneath the Mockingbird's Wings
New in the Bestselling SPIRIT OF APPALACHIA!
The American Revolution may have ended, but life for the settlers of the land over the Appalachian Mountains was hardly settled. British attempts to drive the Americans out of the land and hostilities with the Cherokees put a tremendous strain upon the inhabitants.
Nathaniel "Fox" Carter, part-Cherokee, finds himself caught in the region's increasing unrest. When he decides to explore his ancestry, he is befriended by Hannah Spencer, who tries to help him discover who he is and where he belongs. Little does he know that forces from both sides of his heritage are conspiring toward his destruction.
Will Hannah be able to convince Carter that working for the cause of war is not the right path to follow?

Early American history. The Revolutionary War has ended, but struggles haven't.
Nathanael "Fox" Carter struggles for identity. Part native, part white, cause this young man to find where he "fits" in.
Great men like Andrew Jackson and Davy Crockett come on stage in this story. What a great heritage we have as Americans.
Also, as Americans, we have a dark history as well. First their land, the Natives fight to keep the white man away. Yet, they came, conquered and established a system the Natives couldn't/wouldn't accept.
What a great read. The feeling of being there jumped off the pages. The battles, the dangers were shaping what we have now.
I look forward to the last book in this series.

A Cherokee of mixed race falls for a white women on the American frontier.
Enjoyed being with Hawk and his friends and family again. Fox and Hannah story was exciting and sad in some spots. Fox was troubled about his heritage. But his mother and his uncle and Hawk helped him with it. He suffered a lot loss. But Hannah stuck by him through it all. Looking forward to hearing about Josh, David, Rachel and Eve now.
