Book excerpt: Set in Colonial America during the War for Independence, Hessian brothers Heinrich and Eberhard Haeger are conscripted into the German mercenary army that serves English King George III. The brothers are soon at odds and then separated in 1776 during battle. Their lives take very different directions as they are involved with the Burkhard family of Pennsylvania German Lutherans, Philadelphia Irish, New York Loyalists and members from Iroquois Nation. This is a story that will show the complexities and struggles of the time when our nation was very divided and strong Christian faith of individuals made the difference in America’s fight for freedom.
