Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I feel insignificant in the forest, with the trees towering above me. I prefer the open fields of the farm, where the sun beats directly on my head and open sky covers the land. It is late October, and fall's chill is in the air. The moonlight filters through the branches of the white oaks, illuminating patches of the forest floor. Moving from shadow to shadow, I make my way through Mauney Cove. The year is 1751. In The Proud and the Lonely, an indentured servant who recently arrived in the New World is accused of murdering a wealthy landowner and flees westward ahead of a mob. Lost in the mountains of Western Carolina and pursued by his enemies, he must survive against disease, hostile Indians, and an unfamiliar wilderness. On his journey, he will find friends and the love of a Cherokee woman who will help him discover the truth that will change his life forever.
