Every Bend in the River by Emerson Ford
Over 150 5-Star Reviews!
From bestselling author Emerson Ford comes an unforgettable true story of a spirited woman caught between freedom and duty, set against the sweeping backdrop of the American Revolution.
Virginia, 1749: Rosanna Waters is more comfortable catching grasshoppers for fishing bait than helping her Mama with the washing. After one defiance too many ends in terrible tragedy, Rosanna learns her rebellious nature carries a price too steep to pay. She must tame the fire within—for her family’s sake, if not her own.
Then she meets Callum Stewart, a Scottish indentured servant with secrets as deep as the river she loves. In him, Rosanna finds someone who sees her exactly as she is. But revolution changes everything. War sends Callum to battle and Rosanna into the unknowns of the South Carolina frontier, where she carves out a hard, honest life—eight children, a working farm, and a fiercely won independence.
When the war finally reaches her doorstep, it brings not just soldiers threatening everything she’s built, but the boy who once stole her heart—now a man marked by loss. As violence engulfs the backcountry, Rosanna must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect her family, and whether the woman she’s become can make peace with the girl she used to be.
Based on a true story, this is an epic portrait of a woman who refuses to surrender—not to grief, not to the wilderness, and never to the spirit she’s finally learned to love.
