About this ebook

I was twelve when I first heard the name Guthrie.

Hollis Donaghue has been on the long hunt all his life, and he's thinking maybe he should settle down. Except now he's accused of killing a man.

Wanted for murder and pursued by an unknown foe, Hollis sets off on his own along the traces of Kentucky in an attempt to draw out his enemies. He is confident in his skills as a woodsman and in the crafts his parents taught him, but is it enough? He wants to turn to a person he trusts, widow Bea Confer, but no matter how readily she can bring that pistol of hers to bear, Hollis doesn't want to put the woman he's come to care for at risk.

Will he put the people he loves in more danger by setting off alone?

The Kentuckian, set in 1836 Kentucky, is the fourth book in the saga of the Donaghue family. Each book follows the next generation of the family against the backdrop of the developing United States and features historical detail, strong individuals and their craftiness, and a crochet pattern by designer Laurinda Reddig.

Author

C. Jane Reid

C. Jane lives in the Pacific Northwest where she loves the rain because it makes being a writer even easier with few bright, sunny days to draw her out of the house. She credits her upbringing in Indiana and her early adulthood in the West Texas Panhandle for her fascination with family history. Much like her characters, her own extended family live within a few towns (or at times only a cornfield) from each other. She spends much of her free time avoiding laundry and dishes by searching the web for interesting facts on things like how to make pawpaw jelly and the steps to loading a flintlock rifle. She loves old maps, old books, and old handcrafts. She also keeps a genealogy of all her characters but sadly hasn’t had time to work on the one for her own family. Life is funny like that. If you would like to learn more about her books and research, you can find more information on her website: www.cjanereid.com
