In 1763, in the untamed wilderness of the lower Ohio River Valley, the echoes of the French and Indian War still reverberate, despite its recent end. The Flight of the Arrow is the story of young Lillian, a spirited seventeen-year-old Colonist, whose world is irrevocably altered as she embarks on a remarkable journey, leaving the frontier behind to pursue her dreams.
For the pioneers who call Ohio home, it's a desperate fight for survival against the French and the relentless Mohawk Indians, who seek to wrench the whites from their ancestral soil through whatever means possible, however violent. Lillian, thrust into a harrowing battle for her life as she travels to Boston and Detroit in pursuit of her dream of becoming a nurse. As the chaos of war rages on around her, she transforms in a matter of days from a naïve girl into a fierce warrior. Amidst the turmoil, she discovers love and friendship in the unlikeliest of places and suffers heart-wrenching losses along the way.
With her steadfast brother and a protective and loyal wolf by her side, Lillian charts a perilous course, venturing down the treacherous waters of the Saint Lawrence Seaway—a journey that is fraught with adventure as they navigate numerous dangers on the way home to Ohio.
In this saga that spans the eastern continent and a tumultuous period in America's history, Lillian demonstrates an unwavering spirit, resilience in the face of adversity, and relentless pursuit of love and purpose.
The Flight of the Arrow is a gripping tale of survival, love, and hope, set against the backdrop of our young nation's struggle for independence.
