Another Sunfire classic

I just love all the Sunfire books! "Heather" is set in 1665 in New York along the Hudson River. Heather falls for the neighbor's arrogant son Michael and the Dutch riverboatman Jan. One of the two is trying to get rid of Heather and she must choose between them, hoping that she chooses the right one, for her heart and her safety. As usual, good history in the book about the settling of America and prejudice against "foreigners." Search out my website for more Sunfire info or email me at Angie_Sunfire@hotmail.com for the address.

Great book!

Heather and her father have settled on a land grant in New York from the King of England. But someone doesn't want them there. That person even burns their crops. Who is it? Is it the man Heather thinks she loves?
