Journey to Victory
by Lyn Cote

Will a young woman change the direction of her life, defy the role she has been groomed to play? But what will her defiance cost?

In the early 1770's, Christiane Pelletier is a beautiful young woman. She is next in a line of courtesans who have been favorites at the French court during the reigns of two monarchs. Yet she longs to be the beloved wife of one man, not a lovely piece of human art passed from one noble to another. And the winds of change are sweeping Europe.

After her mother's tragic death, Christiane flees France with her renegade father. In the Canadian wilderness, she survives the shock of leaving a life of wealth and privilege. At a frontier fort, Captain John Eastham comes to her aid. Then to escape frontier violence, she's drawn southward only to become involved in the burgeoning American Revolution. Circumstances move Christiane into the very heart of the American rebel elite.

But one man in her life can never be forgotten, Captain John Eastham, who's also left Europe behind. When they meet again, he has become the enemy. Both of them must face the history they left behind. Both of them must face the vagaries of war and also of peace. How do enemies lay down arms and forge a future, a dynasty?

Three generations--a family's story, a young nation's history~

A fascinating book, well worth reading, difficult to put down and gave me a new insight into the early history of the US.---a UK reader
