Ovoka - Hardcover

by Scott Keller (Author)

OVOKA, laced with historical figures and the tensions of pre-Revolutionary War America, draws readers into the daily lives of colonial Virginia in the beautiful Shenandoah piedmont. Born into privilege but determined to make his own way in the world, Isaac Spotswood seeks a modest life on his own farmstead. The land-grabbing, slave-owning ways of the British aristocrats and colonial leaders, including Lord Fairfax and George Washington, clash with Isaac's humble ambitions to build a home for him and his wife in their own corner of the world.
