In Colonial America, men went to war to fight for freedom, but their women fought their own battles. Tatum Honeycutt, barely recovered from yellow fever, quickly married Gatlin LaCroix, a man she barely knew to escape Gwendolyn, the no-good woman who claimed to be her mother. Gatlin was proud of his own Powhatan mother--Hair Blows in the Wind--an intelligent and peaceable woman. He never suspected his wife would be in danger from his mother-in-law when he left to fight with the Concord Minutemen. His full-blooded Powhatan cousin, Tarquin, is not allowed to fight alongside him with the Patriots. But will Tarquin fight to protect Tatum once again from her mother and the vengeful man who is fighting his own war? Or will Tatum and her children become beholden to the wicked woman who had given birth to her in prison? This story is intertwined with the previous three novels in the Brides Series, but this is the first one set far into the past. The characters are re-created to fit historically in Boston following the Boston Massacre. The other three novels in the series--set in modern times--are: Mustang Bride, Brides in Boots, and A Bride's Bridge. This is Marilyn Jacobson White's thirteenth novel. This story is dear to her heart, honoring her father and father-in-law who were Army veterans. White and her family live peaceful lives nearby to their childhood homes in Kansas.
