Shawnee Friends Mission Series

Revenge plunges Lucy, a Quaker girl living in the 1840s, into the strange world of the Shawnee Indians, where she discovers that simple faith in God's word can build a bridge between two cultures. Taken captive by a band of Shawnee and forced to travel from Kansas territory to Indian territory, Lucy struggles across a raging river at flood stage, faces a killer tornado, and endures threats from Black Crow, who wants to kill and scalp her to satisfy his vengeance or make her his woman.

It’s 1858. The Kansas-Missouri border seethes with racial hatred between antislavery and proslavery factions. Amid this unrest, Mia arrives in Kansas Territory from Indian Territory to visit her grandparents at the Shawnee Friends Mission. The pleasant trip she has planned turns into a terrifying ordeal as she finds herself in the clutches of slave traders. Coming from a Quaker upbringing, her antislavery convictions are tested when she escapes slavery and certain death through the quick wit and sharpshooting of David Taylor - a slave owner.

Because Thomas Bishop was born to a slave mother, he is condemned to a life of slavery even though he has a White father out there somewhere he has never met. But he has a dream - an impossible one. His dream to one day be free and prosperous enough to offer a secure future to the woman he loves seems unlikely.
