When settler Clare Inglesby is widowed on a mountain crossing and her young son, Jacob, captured by Shawnees, she'll do everything in her power to get him back, including cross the Ohio River and march straight into the presence of her enemies deep in Indian country. Frontiersman and adopted Shawnee, Jeremiah Ring, promises to guide Clare through the wilderness and help her recover Jacob.
Once they reach the Shawnees and discover Jeremiah's own Shawnee sister, Rain Crow, has takencustody of Jacob--renaming him Many Sparrows--keeping his promise becomes far more complicated, the consequences more wrenching, than Jeremiah could have foreseen.
My Review
Set in the West in the 1800's, Many Sparrows tells the story of Clare Inglesby, a widow and a mother. Her son however has been captured by the Shawnee tribe and Clare will do whatever she must to retrieve her son Jacob. She sets on her journey with Jeremiah, a frontiersman and adoptive Shawnee. They finally find themselves on Shawnee land, but unfortunately discover Jacob has been adopted...by Jeremiah's own Shawnee sister Rain Crow. Jacob has also been renamed Many Sparrows. Both Jeremiah and Clare discover getting Jacob back will harder than they thought, but especially Jeremiah.
Many Sparrows exhibited a heart wrenching and heart filled story that only could be concocted by Queen Lori Benton herself. Be sure to treat yourself and not only grab Many Sparrows but every book Lori has released.
