Bonny
Kate's Honeymoon: Victory at King's Mountain
A
Novel about Love and War based
on a true story of the American Revolution!
Catharine "Bonny Kate" Sherrill discovers true love when she
marries John Sevier, a popular leader of the backwater country of North
Carolina. But her happiness is short-lived when their world is turned upside down by war. John is called to lead his little band of rag-tag frontier
riflemen against the professional soldiers of the invading army of the British
Empire. Even before he can get his men organized, Tory assassins hatch a plot
to kill him and massacre his family. Bonny Kate rides to the rescue to save her
husband and helps him launch the campaign to save North Carolina. John Sevier, outranked
and inexperienced, emerges as the creative genius of the patriot army who gets
a band of contentious, competitive colonels to cooperate in a very unconventional
battle strategy. At home, Bonny Kate faces financial ruin as county politics,
Indian threats, seven hundred Georgia war refugees, and the care of her eight stepchildren
demand all the resources of her husband's estate, and every moment of her time
and attention. Bonny Kate's Honeymoon is not a book you can easily put down!
