Paul, are left to fend for themselves at Tippecanoe. Her

the strength to go on. Sadie and Paul's fate lies in the

counterpart, the notorious Tecumseh. Will their lives be
spared? And if they live, will they ever return to the life
Sadie dreamt of with Jonah? Bestselling and beloved author Rosanne Bittner will break
your heart as she brings to life the stories of the brave

of America.
