Praise
for The Loyalist’s Luck:
“The Loyalist's Luck is
a wonderful sequel!...It is a well-written, engaging story…” Denise at
So Many Books, So Little Time
“--an
emotional read! …you wrote the battle scenes in such detail, I felt as
though I were in the midst of the horror and fear…” Dale, an
admirer
“From the opening of the first page,
[Elaine] writes in a way that made me read with lightning speed, for at every
turn of the page, a new drama, twist, or turn, was occurring…” Erin at Oh, For the Hook of a Book
When
the War of 1812 is finally over William and Catherine Garner flee the
desolation of Niagara and find in the wild heart of Upper Canada their two
hundred acres straddling the Thames River. On this valuable land, dense
forests, wild beasts, disgruntled Natives, and pesky neighbors daily challenge
them. The political atmosphere laced with greed and corruption threatens to
undermine all of the new settlers’ hopes and plans. William cannot take his
family back to Niagara, but he longs to check on his parents from whom he has
heard nothing for two years. Leaving Catherine and the children, he hurries
along the Governor’s Road toward the turn-off to Fort Erie, hoping to return in
time for spring planting.
With
realistic insights into the challenging lives of Ontario’s early settlers,
Elaine Cougler once again draws readers into the Loyalists’ struggles to build
homes, roads, and relationships, and their growing dissension as they move ever
closer to another war. The Loyalist
Legacy shows us the trials faced by ordinary people who conquer
unbelievable hardships and become extraordinary in the process.
[Insert
same author picture as before.]
A
lifelong reader and high school teacher, Elaine found her passion for writing
once her family was grown. She loves to read history for the stories of real
people reacting to their world. Bringing to life the tales of Loyalists in the
American Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and Rebellion of 1837 is very
natural as Elaine’s personal roots are in those struggles. She lives today in
the heart of Ontario and is the descendant of Loyalists who lived through the
times of which she writes. www.elainecougler.com
