Overview

The fight he got wasn't the fight he wanted. It's 1780, and North Carolina is a battleground. Backcountry scout Benjamin Woodbridge is guarding a Patriot camp when he sees the king's men pursuing a civilian. Never one to stand by while someone is in trouble, Benjamin steps in to help the stranger and finds an unexpected ally. But the same British officer who targeted the stranger is also targeting Benjamin's hometown. After Benjamin is wounded on a lonely mountain trail, he watches his settlement fall to the man who crushed his father's cause nine years earlier. Benjamin's fight has come home to the very people he wanted to protect-his shy younger sister and the woman who has given them both a home. Now, with the help of some unlikely comrades and the indomitable Aunt Kate, Benjamin must fight for what he loves before his settlement goes up in flames. But only if he can fight himself first.

Reviews

""A fast-paced tale, Patriot at the River captures the spirit of the American Revolution in spades. Through courageous flesh-and-blood characters in the Carolina backcountry who are the embodiment of soul liberty, this well-layered novel offers a fresh look at freedom and those who fought to win it not only for themselves but generations to come. Huzzah!"" -LAURA FRANTZ, Christy Award-winning author of The Frontiersman's Daughter ""I am so impressed with Jayna Baas and this story! Intense, at times heartstopping, richly textured and steeped in an authentic Carolina backcountry voice. Reading it felt like visiting old friends that I hadn't yet met."" -SHANNON McNEAR, Selah Award-winning author of Daughters of the Lost Colony ""If you want a story with grit, hard battles, beautiful relationships, and strong characters, all wrapped up in a satisfying ending, Patriot at the River is a book that won't disappoint. Highly recommended!"" -ALENA MENTINK, author of the Home to Osceola series

Author Information

Jayna Baas (pronounced as in ""baa, baa, black sheep"") is the award-winning author of the For Liberty and Conscience series and serves as director of The Christian PEN: Proofreaders and Editors Network. She writes and edits from beautiful northern Michigan, where she strives to give readers faith-filled adventures bursting with courageous characters and biblical truth. In between writing her own books and editing other people's books, Jayna seeks out new adventures on the screen, on the page, and in the kitchen. She also loves to spend time with her great family of real people and the family of pretend people who live in her head. (Yes, she does know her characters are not real. No, she does not want you to tell them she said so.) Although her love of words extends to multiple genres, Jayna's favorite story is this: ""For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life"" (John 3:16).
