Although Historical Fiction, each scene is based on a true story written by Dilue Rose Harris in 1900.

They fled with nothing but faith—and a prayer that freedom would find them before Santa Anna did.

The Runaway Scrape plunges readers into the fiery crucible of 1836 Texas, where survival wasn't guaranteed—but courage was. Based on true accounts and richly detailed through the eyes of families on the run, this gripping novel captures a moment when history balanced on the edge of a blade.

As General Sam Houston rallies the Texian forces against the brutal might of Santa Anna's advancing army, whispers of slaughter sweep across the countryside. Entire communities drop everything—children clinging to mothers, wagons thundering across muddy roads, the air thick with smoke and fear. It's a race not just for freedom, but for life itself.

From the thunder of hooves to the wails of newborns in canvas-covered wagons, The Runaway Scrape immerses you in the heartbreak and heroism of those who chose faith over fear. With every mile, families forge bonds, strangers become saviors, and the Texas spirit blazes bright against the darkest skies.

This isn't just historical fiction—it's a tribute to real men and women who risked everything for the dream of liberty. And at the heart of it all? The resilient, often forgotten women of Texas who refused to be broken.

If you love emotionally powerful storytelling, characters who feel like kin, and the pulse-pounding tension of history in motion, The Runaway Scrape will leave you breathless—and deeply inspired.

Buy now and discover the untold courage behind Texas' fight for freedom.
