FROM THE AUTHORS INTRODUCTION: I will take you back to the 1850s, a time of America's intrigue with Manifest Destiny, intertwined with the impact of the Industrial Revolution, the attempt to maintain the Union while peacefully solving the slavery issue, the early quest for Women's Rights, and the movement to provide an education for all Americans.

Taylor (ISBN 9781595712110) is a historical fiction novel published in 2007 that continues the story of Robert Taylor and his experiences in the Tuscarora Valley during the turbulent period of the mid-18th century. Set against the backdrop of Pontiac's Uprising and its aftermath, the narrative follows Robert as he is forced to leave the valley but later returns around 1766 to rebuild his life amid ongoing challenges in frontier America. The book meticulously explores themes of resilience, faith, community, and the pioneering spirit of early settlers, drawing on detailed historical research to portray the courage of men and women shaping the region. In this sequel, readers rejoin characters navigating personal and communal trials, including conflicts with Native American tribes, the shifting colonial landscape after key battles like those at Fort Duquesne and Quebec, and the everyday struggles of establishing a new life on the American frontier. Taylor's storytelling emphasizes hope rekindled through perseverance, family bonds, and reliance on divine providence, offering a vivid portrait of 1760s Pennsylvania and the broader forces that influenced early American development.

A historical fiction novel that serves as the prequel to Hope Rekindled. It is based on real events and family history, centering on the 1756 attack on Fort Bigham in Pennsylvania?s Tuscarora Valley during the French and Indian War. The story follows settler Robert Taylor, who survives a brutal raid by Native American forces (likely Delaware warriors allied with the French). Taylor and other captives are taken westward to places like Kittanning, Fort Duquesne, and eventually villages near Lake Erie and the Allegheny River. The narrative vividly depicts Taylor?s captivity, adoption into a Native American community, forced labor, escapes, and the harsh realities of frontier life, including torture, malnourishment, cultural clashes, and moments of unexpected compassion from his captors. It explores themes of resilience, unwavering hope for his family?s survival and reunion, the complexities of colonial-Native relations, and the early tensions between the American colonies and Britain. Taylor, a longtime history teacher from the Tuscarora Valley, draws on meticulous research to portray the pioneering spirit and adversities of 18th-century Pennsylvania settlers.…
