Darkness Like the Morning: The Saga of a Settler's Family in the American South

With the American Revolutionary War a distant memory and the Civil War not yet on the horizon, three of the Anderson siblings have their eye on the future when they decide to settle in Habersham County, Georgia, in the early 1800s. The Andersons are a small, but diverse family, who face difficult choices and overcome adversity together. The Andersons soon discover that taking their families across the Mountains to carve out a life on the new frontier is no small task. Land carved out of Indian territory and given to the white man, is almost free for the taking and Lewis, the blacksmith, wants his share of it. Aaron, who has just finished law school and feels the injustices of man deep within his soul, wants to help right all the wrongs taking place on the frontier. Jane, their younger sister, feels the excitement of adventure and tags along, but is soon kidnapped by rogue agents and carried away to an abandoned shack. Will God intervene in time to save this family? Darkness Like the Morning contains drama in almost every chapter. It's about hardship, betrayal of trust and the taking of human life, but it's underlying message is one of love, hope, forgiveness, and a faith in God that brings families together through the toughest of times.
