INTO THE VALLEY: THE SETTLERS by ROSANNE BITTNER
|
SummaryInto the Valley is the moving story of one woman torn
between two brothers who have drastically different visions
of the future of their country. In 1780, during the
turbulent days of the American Revolution, Annie Barnes is
engaged to stable, loving Luke Wilde, an Ohio Valley farmer
who is satisfied with his life and not at all sure that
it's right or advisable to fight the British crown. But
because of a life-changing experience in her childhood,
Annie also has strong feelings for his brother, Jeremiah
Wilde, a wanderer who becomes deeply involved in the
patriot cause and ends up bringing the war a little too
close to Annie and Luke's settled life. As the brothers
become dangerously embroiled in the fighting, Annie's
relationships with both of them are twisted, tried, and
tangled beyond recognition. As Luke and Jeremiah face
unimaginable dangers, Annie must confront her feelings
about the future-both of the land she adores and the
brothers she can't live without.The second novel in
Bittner's ambitious Westward America series,chronicling the
history of the settling of America through the stories of
its brave pioneers, Into the Valley is a story of war's
unexpected effects on the lives of ordinary citizens, and
of the courage of the early patriots showed in gaining
America's independence.
