Tucker Clan Saga

Things used to be simpler. Now, as the Tuckers' enemies hatch a secret plot for revenge, as a shadowy entity stalks the surrounding woods, and as new players enter the scene, Ella Holland's world grows darker, more dangerous, and more twisted. The lines between good and evil, native and foreigner, friend and foe become ever more blurred in the Tucker clan's struggle for peace and purpose. Can Ella navigate this increasingly complicated world while still holding onto her convictions? Can she save those she loves without sacrificing her soul? "Ethan Warrener returns with a captivating and emotionally charged sequel in FOR PEACE AND PURPOSE.

The Tucker clan teeters on the brink of annihilation. The hand of friendship extended by the Americans concealed a dagger, and now Ella Holland languishes in captivity, separated from her homeland, knowing the true extent of the Americans' wicked intentions and powerless to stop them. While the Americans' iron-fisted control of the Tuckers nears its apogee, the Pied Piper waits in the wings. Against their multitudinous enemies, the Tuckers must use every ally and resource they can and resort to every tactic, no matter how savage. Yet even then, a long-hidden traitor lurking in their midst may prove to be their own undoing. "A powerful and touching finale... brims with heartache, resilience, and the enduring power of hope." -IndieReader

Ella Holland wanted a simple life, but she would have settled for survival. Life in the ravaged wilds of Appalachia is dangerous, and most folks don't live past fifty. Even if sickness or starvation doesn't get you, the rival clans, or shifty nomads, or the unbred monsters that roam the hills will. This is why a clan must stick together at all costs, nestled in whatever patch of peaceful land it has scratched out for itself. This is why strangers are not to be trusted. But when a wandering drifter turns up with an army of ravenous pigmen at his heels, Ella Holland and the rest of her clan will have to confront the harsh realities they've kept sealed outside their walls, the lies they've told themselves, and even the specter of their own extinction. Can there be room in all this for tenderness? For compassion? For home and hearth? "Creature-feature material blended skillfully with Appalachian-style grievances in a post-apocalyptic world." -Kirkus Reviews "So many novels struggle to tell these kinds of tales...
