Elizabeth Howard’s assignment to gain crucial intelligence for General Washington leads her into the very maw of war at the Battle of Brooklyn Heights, where disaster threatens to end the American rebellion. Yet Elizabeth’s heart remains fixed on Jonathan Carleton, whose whereabouts remain unknown more than a year after he disappeared into the wilderness. As British General Howe progressively pushes the faltering Continental force out of New York, through New Jersey, and across the Delaware River, and Washington’s dispirited, starving soldiers melt away before his eyes, Elizabeth learns that a white warrior is leading Indian raids along the frontier. Convinced that this warrior must be Carleton, she undertakes the arduous journey deep into Ohio Territory with Carleton’s friend, Colonel Charles Andrews.
They succeed in tracking White Eagle down only to find, to Elizabeth’s dismay, that her arrival forces the conflict between the vengeful shaman Wolfslayer and White Eagle into the open, thus placing him in even greater danger. It also confronts White Eagle with a wrenching dilemma: to remain with his adoptive kindred the Shawnee—or to return with Elizabeth to white society and again take up the reins of revolution as Washington prepares to attack the Hessian outpost at Trenton.
“With rich, vivid descriptions that draw you back in time, characters that become your best friends, eloquent language that will leave you breathless, and a romance that warms you from head to toe, Wind of the Spirit is a stunningly beautiful story about the fight for freedom, survival, and love in a savage land.” —MaryLu Tyndall, bestselling author of Surrender the Dawn
“The passion and intrigue of the American Revolution comes to life in J. M. Hochstetler’s wonderfully entertaining read Wind of the Spirit. Beautifully written and completely engaging, Wind of the Spirit will appeal to fans not just of Christian fiction, but of historical fiction as well. Not to be missed!” —Michelle Moran, author of Madame Tussaud: A Novel of the French Revolution
