The Pursuit of Tamsen Littlejohn

By Lori Benton

Book Overview

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?

They must escape!

The Pursuit of Tamsen Littlejohn by Lori Benton Reviewed by mrsboone4, Green Forest, Arkansas, USA Rating: 5 stars Hardback, Large Print, Library Edition Jesse helps Tamsen escape from a horrible situation. They are being tracked by a mountain man and Tamsen's step father and the man her step father wants her to marry. Jesse has been raised by Indians, though he lives a roaming life with his pa, he feels compelled to help Tamsen escape her evil step father's clutches. Very good book, you feel immersed into the scenes. Jesse being raised as he was, would have known that they not only needed to escape and put as many miles as possible, between them but he would also know that he needed to hide Tamsen, clothes, hairstyle, everything about her would need to change, to keep her from being found.
