Romance Historical
"Keowee Valley is a terrific first novel by Katherine Scott
Crawford-a name that should be remembered. She has a lovely
prose style, a great sense of both humor and history, and
she tells about a time in South Carolina that I never even
imagined." -Pat Conroy, bestselling author of The Prince of
Tides and South of Broad. She journeyed into the wilderness to find a kidnapped
relative. She stayed to build a new life filled with
adventure, danger, and passion. Spring, 1768. The Southern frontier is a treacherous
wilderness inhabited by the powerful Cherokee people. In
Charlestown, South Carolina, twenty-five-year-old Quincy
MacFadden receives news from beyond the grave: her cousin, a
man she'd believed long dead, is alive-held captive by the
Shawnee Indians. Unmarried, bookish, and plagued by visions
of the future, Quinn is a woman out of place . . . and this
is the opportunity for which she's been longing. Determined to save two lives, her cousin's and her own,
Quinn travels the rugged Cherokee Path into the South
Carolina Blue Ridge. But in order to rescue her cousin,
Quinn must trust an enigmatic half-Cherokee tracker whose
loyalties may lie elsewhere. As translator to the British
army, Jack Wolf walks a perilous line between a King he
hates and a homeland he loves. When Jack is ordered to negotiate for Indian loyalty in the
Revolution to come, the pair must decide: obey the Crown, or
commit treason . . . Katherine Scott Crawford was born and raised in the blue
hills of the South Carolina Upcountry, the history and
setting of which inspired Keowee Valley. Winner of a North
Carolina Arts Award, she is a former newspaper reporter and
outdoor educator, a college English teacher, and an avid
hiker. She lives with her family in the mountains of Western
North Carolina, where she tries to resist the siren call of
her passport as she works on her next novel. Visit her at:
