The One Who Listens: The Complete Omnibus Edition
The Complete Omnibus Edition
Three generations. One legacy. One who listened.
Before there was a nation...
Before there was a Revolution...
Before America found its voice, there were those who learned to listen.
Spanning nearly a century of American history, The One Who Listens: The Complete Omnibus Edition is an epic historical novel that brings together the entire acclaimed trilogy in one unforgettable volume.
When the Schenectady Massacre of 1690 leaves a young Dutch woman alone in a frozen wilderness, her life becomes forever entwined with that of Tahonaw ta, a young Mohawk hunter whose courage and compassion change the course of two families. What begins as a single act of mercy grows into a sweeping multigenerational saga that follows Mohawk, Dutch, and colonial families through decades of peace, hardship, love, sacrifice, and war as a new nation struggles to emerge.
From the forests surrounding Ballston Lake and the Mohawk Valley to the councils of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the halls of Sir William Johnson, the shores of Lake George, and finally the Battles of Saratoga, this richly researched novel places readers at the crossroads of cultures whose destinies became inseparably linked during one of the most turbulent periods in American history.
At its heart, however, this is not simply a story of war.
It is a story of family.
Of faith.
Of loyalty.
Of the wisdom passed from one generation to the next.
Of ordinary people facing extraordinary choices with courage, dignity, and honor.
More than an adventure, The One Who Listens is a story about the enduring strength of community, the sacred bond between generations, and the quiet wisdom that shapes history long before it is recorded in books. Through moments of joy and heartbreak, readers are invited into the daily lives, traditions, and councils of the Mohawk people, discovering not only how they lived, but how they loved, mourned, celebrated, and endured.Far beyond the clash of armies, this is the story of a people determined to preserve their identity as the world around them changed forever. It is a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit and to the timeless belief that understanding begins not with speaking, but with listening.
Meticulously researched and woven around authentic historical events, real locations, and respected Haudenosaunee traditions, The One Who Listens blends historical accuracy with unforgettable storytelling. Readers who enjoy immersive historical fiction, Native American history, Colonial America, Revolutionary War fiction, and sweeping family sagas will discover characters whose lives remain long after the final page is turned.
