Book excerpt: In this captivating sequel to Caty Maclean, readers join Caty and her family as The Winds of Change sweep across the hilly backcountry settlement of Waxhaw. As a wife and mother, Caty finds life on a wilderness farm difficult. The dream for a son is tragically dashed when her life is threatened by childbirth, imposing heart-breaking consequences. In the midst of her own battles, the rivalry between France and England over possession of Indian lands triggers continuous Indian uprisings, and eventually war. Settlers in the backcountry are caught up in the midst of the turmoil. Indians are invading their land, farms are being destroyed, and lives are being lost. On the distant horizon, the winds of change bring revolution ---- another war that will determine the fate of "all" Americans. With cameos of historical characters from young Andrew Jackson to General George Washington ------ along with descriptive battle scenes fought in the south ------ The Winds of Change is a remarkable piece of insight, character, and adventure---- a novel that echoes in the mind long after the last pages are turned.
