The Pursuit of Tamsen Littlejohn
by Benton, Lori
Frontier dangers cannot hold a candle to the risks one woman takes by falling in love In
an act of brave defiance, Tamsen Littlejohn escapes the life her harsh
stepfather has forced upon her. Forsaking security and an arranged
marriage, she enlists frontiersman Jesse Bird to guide her to the
Watauga settlement in western North Carolina. But shedding her old life
doesn’t come without cost. As the two cross a vast mountain wilderness,
Tamsen faces hardships that test the limits of her faith and endurance.
Convinced that Tamsen has been kidnapped, wealthy suitor
Ambrose Kincaid follows after her, in company with her equally
determined stepfather. With trouble in pursuit, Tamsen and Jesse find
themselves thrust into the conflict of a divided community of
Overmountain settlers. The State of Franklin has been declared, but many
remain loyal to North Carolina. With one life left behind and chaos on
the horizon, Tamsen struggles to adapt to a life for which she was never
prepared. But could this challenging frontier life be what her soul has
longed for, what God has been leading her toward? As pursuit draws ever
nearer, will her faith see her through the greatest danger of
all—loving a man who has risked everything for her?
