A Coward's Solace

Book III of The Locket Saga

A historical Christian Romance set at Valley Forge in 1777-1778. A stranger, who goes by the name Head of Stone, stumbles into the cabin where Martha Dawson and Phillip and Elizabeth McCray live. He was raised by the Lenape since he was a child. His mission is to avenge the death of his Lenape wife Moshanna. In a twist of fate, new information about Head of Stone’s past comes to light and he decides to stay with the McCray household for the time being. While he is there, the ragtag, nearly frozen, nearly starved Continental Army stumbles into the nearby fields. To the north, a political power struggle threatenes to replace their commanding office because many think that he is a coward. He has not won a campaign the entire summer of 1777. Hope for their cause is at an all-time low. Something happens on a cold day in February 1778 that changes everything for Head of Stone and this commanding officer, and their lives will never be the same again.
