Discover a time of Revolution, danger and love in
The Road to Deer Run
What's the book about?The year was 1777. The war had already broken the heart of Mary Thomsen, a young colonial woman from Massachusetts. It had also broken the spirit of British soldier Daniel Lowe, a wounded prisoner of war in a strange land.
They were enemies, brought together by need. Would their differences overshadow the yearnings of their hearts? Or would the bitterness of war keep them apart?
Elaine says: This story was inspired by my great-great-great-great grandparents. My research into their lives and times brings authenticity to my book. Hope you enjoy it.

Life: Beautiful Magazine featured the book!
The story appeared in the Summer 2010 issue of Life: Beautiful. This is a wonderful glossy magazine for Christian women and they did a very nice story on the adventure of writing the book, as you will see by clicking on this link:
"The story sweeps the reader along not just with Mary and
Daniel's romance, but with the delightful slice of colonial America the author
has created. With subplots as appealing as the main story, the book is well
researched, well written and well worth the purchase price. Ready for the
sequel."
