Hey, friends!

I wanted to give you a head's up about another great book I read recently.

Alone, Yet Not Alone
by Tracy Leininger Craven 




Settled in the Blue Mountains of Pennsylvania, deep within America's new frontier, the Leininger family celebrates the blessings of a beautiful homestead and bountiful harvest. That is, until tragedy strikes with the beginning of the French and Indian War and the devastating raid known as the Penn's Creek Massacre. 

The lives of this simple, God-fearing family are forever altered when Barbara and Regina, two young sisters, are carried away by the Delaware tribe. Driven by their faith in God and the powerful bonds of family, Barbara and Regina hold firmly to the belief that they are never alone, even in their darkest hour, and that they will be reunited again. 

Rich in historical details, Alone Yet Not Alone is an inspirational, true story of a family caught in the cross fire of the French and Indian War. 

This is such an exciting and easy read!
Even seasoned early-readers would enjoy and understand it...
and learn some history!
(Probably age 10 & up.)



AND, a movie version of the book is being released on September 27!

So, read the book, then go see the movie.
:)


And guess what?!
I am giving away a copy of the book.
Hooray!
