A brutal past. A new beginning. A family’s fight for freedom in the untamed American frontier.
In the winter of 1839, Hope Kirkpatrick makes a desperate flee Ireland with her two young sons after her husband’s drunken abuse spirals into violence. With her abuser still breathing and vengeance on his mind, she turns to the only person she can trust—her long-lost brother Habakkuk, a giant of a man who vanished into the American wilderness over a decade earlier.
But Habakkuk is no longer the blacksmith’s son from Cork. Now a respected mountain man called Red Horse, he has built a life among the Blackfeet people—with a loving wife, children, and a community that embraces him as one of their own. When his sister arrives on the frontier, fleeing a ghost from the old world, Habakkuk is forced to reckon with family, loyalty, and the looming shadow of vengeance that follows her across an ocean.
As cultures collide and the American fur trade teeters on the brink of collapse, a new kind of war brews—not just between white men and Native nations, but between the past and the future, vengeance and forgiveness. When enemies close in from the east, Hope and her sons must find their place in this rugged new land, and Habakkuk must protect the people he loves from the nightmare he thought he left behind.
Brimming with historical richness, unflinching emotion, and unforgettable characters, Finding the Peace is a powerful saga of family, resilience, and the promise of healing on the far edge of the world.
Start reading today and follow the Hickey family’s fearless journey into a land as dangerous as it is redemptive.
The author has written an intriguing story of how a woman’s escape from her abusive husband turned into a great advocate and happiness for her and her children.
This is the third book in the series and they just get better each time, reading. Hopefully more will follow in this series and their stories and adventures will continue. Author writes a good storyline. Love all three books
Habakkuk Hickey's little sister flees Ireland with her two son after the youngest boy shoots his father who is beating his mother. She finds her way to the west and finds her brother. But her husband comes to America to find and punish her and the boys.
I heartily enjoyed this three book series. Th main reason I enjoyed it was that a different approach in how dealt with the lives of the American Natives. It gave some insight in how they lived and engaged in their daily lives. It has long been my idea that their are men of good character to be found in all races and nationalities.
Whilst I continue to be gripped by these three men, i find the storyline is getting a bit boring. Great characters just not much happening considering where and when they lived.
