About this ebook
In Juliet Waldron's Genesee, published by Books We Love, Genesee, Born to a runaway teen and Iroquois Warrior, struggles to find her place, her loyalties eternally torn between two warring peoples. When the American Revolution sets the Mohawk Valley ablaze, will a young soldier’s love prove strong enough to save her?
GENESEE is an extraordinary book about love, hardship and prejudice. It's well written and full of wonderful characters. Even though they have many differences, Genesee and Alexander are true kindred spirits. Ms. Waldron keeps you enthralled by, a little at a time, giving tantalizing tidbits of their origins. This story isn't sugarcoated, which is really refreshing. There are some instances of violence, but they're brief and handled well. Anyone who enjoys an honest, realistic story will love this one. Renee Burnette
I'm so happy that I had the opportunity to read “Genesee.” . . . I now understand why this novel won the EPIC award for best historical a few years back.
I've always enjoyed a good book that deals with U.S. History, and this one delivered. . . . Ms. Waldron combines the trying times of the American Revolution with unbelievable conflict and romance that threatens to pull the heroine away from the life she really wants. Honestly, I was right there with Genesee, feeling the emotions, the love, the thrill, the sadness. Kudos to Juliet Waldron for bringing this book back to the readers and giving them another chance. Don't miss it. ~ Ginger Simpson, author of “Hattie’s Heroes,” “Sarah’s Heart,” and “Sarah’s Passion”
. . . . “Interspersed within the story is a finely detailed account of this historical period's farming production, weather, style of dress, political choices, conflict with surrounding Indian tribes, as well as Indian customs, traditions, and beliefs that add to the complex but finely woven main plot.
Freedom rings true throughout this story that offers a transition into the “New World” lifestyle with its expected and surprising consequences. Passion erupts into physical and political birth that will thrill the reader as it did our historical, American ancestors.
This is a novel that deserves wide attention as it commemorates the past and celebrates the universal love that truly creates and evolves into a new generation of united Americans and native Americans. Grandly done, Juliet Waldron ! ! !” ~ Viviane Crystal

Juliet Waldron
“Not all who wander are lost.” Juliet Waldron was baptized in the yellow spring of a small Ohio farm town. She earned a B. A. in English, but has worked at jobs ranging from artist’s model to brokerage. Twenty-five years ago, after the kids left home, she dropped out of 9-5 and began to write, hoping to create a genuine time travel experience for herself—and her readers—by researching herself into the Past. Mozart’s Wife won the 1st Independent e-Book Award. Genesee originally won the 2003 Epic Award for Best Historical, and she’s delighted that it’s available again from Books We Love. She enjoys cats, long hikes, history books and making messy gardens with native plants. She’s happy to ride behind her husband on his big “bucket list” sport bike.
