His hatred for white men and their God grows as he is punished and starved, until he knows he must be free or die. Can he find a home with other runaways in Upper Canada?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChipagawana is the proud son of Onondaga Chief Thunder Arm. He lives for the day he will take his place beside his brothers as a brave of his tribe. He has learned to hate the white man, whose whiskey makes fools of the wisest braves and whose God-houses anger the Great Spirit. But then he is mauled by a bear and finds himself lost in the bush, alone and dying. If he is going to survive he has to make a decision . . . Is he willing to receive help from the enemy?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul Brentwood is the son of a circuit riding preacher who left England to bring God's Word to the Iroquois Tribe in Upper Canada. But Paul has a reason to hate, too. The Indians who massacred his best friend's family have now ambushed his father. He was raised in the bush so survival was no problem . . . if he can remain undetected by the Iroquois scouts as he finds his way home to get an answer to the burning question . . . Did his father make it? Is he still alive?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese three would never have met but for a strange twist of fate -- or is it the Hand of Providence? -- that forces them together in a way that changes their lives, and the lives of those around them, forever.","brand":"Loyal Arts Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47071536087280,"sku":"2940158187391","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158187391_p0.jpg?v=1764115048","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158187391","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
