How would you feel to wake up and discover you’ve been scalped and left for dead? Shocked, distraught, self-conscious? All of it probably. Your skin will heal of course, but no hair will ever return. It’s horrific to have a strip of bare skin running front to back on the top of your head. For a man it’s not as distressing as it is for a young woman. Especially a young woman who wants to attract a man. Try this then. At twenty-two, my sixth great grandmother was, yes, scalped and left for dead. I’m not making this up; it’s in the historical record. Yes, she recovered, married, and had ten children. Later, in another Indian raid, her husband was killed and two of her daughters were taken to Canada. From the author of the popular murder mystery “A Serving of Murder” comes this the historic adventure tale, “Tamsen’s Quest”, which is based on well researched historic events. It tells the exploits of a mother and a daughter, two strong resilient women, who endure hardship and danger to reunite their family. If you love to read historical page turning adventure stories involving remarkable women, then “Tamsen’s Quest” may be your next book. "Connoisseurs of fact based historical fiction will take delight in “ Tamsen's Quest”, the absorbing novel from Charles W. Ross. This astounding story of two unforgettable women, a mother and a daughter, separated by cataclysmic events in pre-revolutionary New England, is both powerful and enlightening."
