Defend the Valley

by Ken Jewett

The Jewett family is back with a new set of adventures, trials, and joys on the frontier of colonial Virgina. Robert, Edward, Lewis, Henry and Esther are back with new, and unexpected, additions to the ever-expanding Jewett family.

In Defend the Valley, the second novel in the series about the Jewett family, trouble is brewing for the colonists as they enter into the French and Indian War. This war, fought over territory early in America's history, was a bitter set of battles between the English colonists on one side and the Native Americans and French on the other.

The Jewetts must be especially cautious since they live on the very edge of the Virginia territory under dispute. Edward, in order to fulfill his obligation to the Crown, returns to active duty to help protect the other American colonies while the rest of the family is left out on the Virginian frontier to fend for themselves.

Using their heads and their hearts, the Jewett family experiences a wondrous range of triumphs and tribulations, joys and sadness, and love and rivalry in the newest novel about their lives.

Readers will become completely engrossed in the adventures of the Jewett family as they fight for survival out on the frontier of colonial America.

The author of Defend the Valley, retired Air Force colonel Ken Jewett, has once again written a wonderful read that is historically accurate, lovingly researched, and vividly detailed. Defend the Valley, the follow-up novel for To the Valley, is an action-packed adventure with a heart, suitable for any audience, especially those interested in early American history.

Ken Jewett's novels continue to delight and surprise readers with their warmth, attention to detail, and richly detailed characters. Defend the Valley is no exception.
