But, disaster loomsA fter an unexpectedly long journey, their lives are in jeopardy,as they cannot find the colony at Jamestown and are truly lost. Not enough food, little shelter, and the bitter cold are difficult enough… then the winter sickness grips them, killing the brave voyagers one after another. Sarah hangs on to life but now finds herself a widow with her husband’s young brother to care for. Can Sarah not just survive, but can she build a life in this new land, or is she destined just to be another grave on Cole’s Hill? “On the Wings of the Red-Tailed Hawk” is borne out of my extensive work in genealogy and pays homage to our ancestors, especially the ordinary women whose accomplishments were anything but ordinary. Our ancestors live on through stories like these, hear their voices.
