Hi Penelope
Welcome.
How did you come up with your title? In Luke 6:29 Jesus said, "To the person who strikes you on one cheek, offer the other one as well…" (NAB) In Romans 12:17 Paul wrote, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." The hero in Patriot's Courage seeks revenge, but finds killing Indians doesn't offer him peace. True courage can mean walking away from a fight. True courage seeks peace. |

What is your next project? I intend to move ahead to 1903 in my next story, which will be set along the Jersey shore I love so much. At the beginning of the twentieth century, women started to work outside the home and gained some freedom, but they were limited in their choice of occupations. Women had a long way to go. |

Did you learn anything from writing this book? What was it? In the research for Patriot's Courage, I learned a great deal about the plight of the Native Americans and realized how the tensions between the settlers and the tribes escalated. The sad history of continued retaliation made anything but temporary peace inevitable. |
