History with a Christian perspective...
and a little imagination.

COMING NOVEMBER 2010:
    The Creek Country Saga
                     Wounded Spirits
                                                          Book One
During the days leading to the Creek War, Zachariah McGirth and his family struggle to stay afloat in a sea of rage and violence.  For decades, the McGirths have lived peaceably side by side with the Creek Indians in Mississippi Territory.  However, times are changing; the Whites oppress, and their native hosts to the north feel they are no longer welcome. 

The family is torn apart during the Creek assault of Fort Mims – can their faith in God bring them back together during the bloodiest days of the forgotten Creek War? 

Budding love struggles for survival between a white slave and her Creek master, but before it has a chance to bloom, will the feverish onslaught of racial hatred put an end to it …or will God?



I invite you to read the first chapter of Wounded Spirits and, as I have, fall in love with  Zachariah, Adela, Totka, and the myriad other characters as they struggle with the hardships faced in the rugged 1800's Alabama frontier.  Travel with them through their journeys of faith and disbelief and cry with them in their moments of pain and triumph.

Thanking the Lord always for His guidance,

April W Gardner
