  • "Adam Wyse is Amish and no patriot, or so the core of his faith decrees. Yet two wars ravage his heart-the longing for the love of young Lena Yoder and the burning desire to defend the country that brought his religious freedom."
  • "Northern Pennsylvania, 1777; Adam Wyse is no patriot, or so the core of his Amish faith decrees. Yet two wars ravage his heart: the longing for Lena Yoder and the burning desire to defend the country that gave him religious freedom. Left to raise her two siblings alone, Lena is torn between her beliefs and her attraction to the rebellious Adam - especially when his older brother offers a chance for her to regain a sense of balance and rightness with the Lord."
  • ""Pennsylvania in the late 18th century, once called William Penn's Woods, was an assortment of different faiths living together for the first time in American history. Included in this tapestry was a small and struggling population called Amish. Surrounding this peaceful people were unavoidable threats: both Patriots and the British were pillaging land and goods for the sake of the war, young Amishmen were leaving the faith to take up arms and defend freedom. A simple walk in the untamed forests could result in death, if not from bullet or arrow, then from an encounter with a wild animal. Amid this time of tumult, Adam Wyse is fighting a personal battle. To possibly join the war efforts and leave his faith, which would mean walking away from the only woman he's ever loved: Lena Yoder. But for that love he's made a promise that may keep them apart permanently. When Adam withdraws from Lena, she's forced to turn to his brother, Isaac, for support. Must Lena deny her heart's desire to save Adam's soul? And will life in this feral and primitive New World be more than this peace-keeping people can withstand?"--Page 4 of cover."
