Book Overview
A fast-moving novel of adventure, faith, romance, greed, sacrifice, family, and courage, culminating in a life-and-death confrontation with one of nineteenth-century America's most despicable robber barons.
Arriving in America in 1868, as the nation emerges from the devastation of the Civil War, Thomas and Annie Wright come searching for something generations before them could only dream of: freedom, land, opportunity, and a future they can call their own.
But the American dream will not come easily.
Their journey carries them across the treacherous Atlantic and deep into a rapidly changing nation, through bustling cities, vast plains, dangerous rivers, rugged mountains, and the untamed western frontier. Along the way, Tom and Annie encounter devastating storms, disease, frontier violence, Indian conflict, prejudice, personal loss, and dangers that continually test their courage, their family, and their faith.
At the center of this changing America rises one of the greatest technological achievements of the nineteenth century: the transcontinental railroad. As thousands labor to connect East and West, Tom's skill, determination, and ingenuity draw him into the monumental undertaking. But progress comes at a price, and powerful men driven by wealth and ambition threaten the lives and dreams of those standing in their way.
Through it all, Tom and Annie must discover how much they are willing to sacrifice for family, freedom, love, and the promise of a better life.
Blending sweeping historical events with adventure, romance, faith, and an unforgettable family story, Where Eagles Fly Free brings post-Civil War America and the Wild West vividly to life.
For readers who love historical fiction filled with courage, danger, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of the American dream.
