Only the Valiant

About the Book

The Savage family was destined to turn the pages of history and write their own heritage—this is their story. With faith in God and unwavering courage, they immigrated to America, crossing the untried frontiers in the early 1800’s to forge a new life. Many hardships challenged their faith in the Almighty to sustain them. Breaching the doors of hardships, they aspired to bridge its chasms leaving the outcome to the will of God.

The people of this great era became the forefathers of a country untraveled, where men were free to dream and carry them out. The building of this grand nation was a siege for glory that eluded many, yet they persevered with a renewed hope to build a nation of their own liking and with their own hands.

Coleen Palmer, a fire-haired beauty from Ireland, whose love for a gentle Irishman, Erick Savage, led her to willingly abandon her wealthy, affluent heritage, choosing rather to be a part of the future and struggles of a budding nation—where Only the Valiant prevailed.
