Bonny Kate's Honeymoon: Victory at King's Mountain

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!
