Many Sparrows
by Lori Benton
| -From Amazon- Either she and her children would emerge from that wilderness together, or none of them would… In 1774, the Ohio-Kentucky frontier pulses with rising tension and brutal conflicts as Colonists push westward and encroach upon Native American territories. The young Inglesby family is making the perilous journey west when an accident sends Philip back to Redstone Fort for help, forcing him to leave his pregnant wife Clare and their four-year old son Jacob on a remote mountain trail. When Philip does not return and Jacob disappears from the wagon under the cover of darkness, Clare awakens the next morning to find herself utterly alone, in labor and wondering how she can to recover her son...especially when her second child is moments away from being born. Clare will face the greatest fight of her life, as she struggles to reclaim her son from the Shawnee Indians now holding him captive. But with the battle lines sharply drawn, Jacob’s life might not be the only one at stake. When frontiersman Jeremiah Ring comes to her aid, can the stranger convince Clare that recovering her son will require the very thing her anguished heart is unwilling to do—be still, wait and let God fight this battle for them? ISBN-13: 978-1601429940 One woman will stop at nothing to find her children... |  This Book received a 5 Bark rating.

I've been a confirmed fan of Lori Benton's amazing historical fiction since I first picked up what was actually her second book. I was blown away by her exquisite attention to detail and because she didn't paint historical characters with a modern brush. She is a true storyteller in every way!
I've looked forward to Many Sparrows since I first heard about it months ago. I just knew it was going to be another amazing story and I was in no way disappointed. It lived up to, and surpassed, every expectation. Not only was I completely engrossed in the story of a woman determined to get her son back no matter the odds, but I was transported to a time long, long ago and learned about a piece of history that I had been quite unaware of. I love books like this, ones that teach you something but it is couched in such an entertaining way that it ceases to feel like learning!
I truly can't speak of Many Sparrows, and Lori Benton's previous books, highly enough. They are GREAT! Always bittersweet but resonating with the hope of the human spirit and the love of the Almighty. They are not to be missed!
