For Many Sparrows that timeline was crucial. It consists mainly of pouring through stacks of books, taking notes, and creating a historical timeline when necessary. LORI: I think readers would likely find my research more mundane than surprising. Is there any aspect of it which may surprise your readers?
Give us a glimpse into your research process.
(Psst! You can read the first two chapters here!) Truly, an inspired masterpiece sure to stir the soul. Lori Benton handles the conflicted eighteenth-century with sensitivity in this tender tale of hope and fear, faith and doubt, of loss and new life. Many Sparrows is everything I want in a book: settings that spring to life, characters I love, rich historical context, heart-wrenching drama, timeless spiritual insights, and prose that reads like poetry. I had the privilege of reading an early copy, and here's my take on the novel: Frontiersman and adopted Shawnee, Jeremiah Ring, promises to guide Clare through the wilderness and help her recover Jacob. Once they reach the Shawnees and discover Jeremiah's own Shawnee sister, Rain Crow, has taken custody of Jacob-renaming him Many Sparrows-keeping his promise becomes far more complicated, the consequences more wrenching, than Jeremiah could have foreseen. When settler Clare Inglesby is widowed on a mountain crossing and her young son, Jacob, captured by Shawnees, she'll do everything in her power to get him back, including cross the Ohio River and march straight into the presence of her enemies deep in Indian country. Thank you!īefore we get to her interview, here is the blurb for her new release, Many Sparrows: *Please note: Since Lori hails from Oregon, this is a great reminder to us to keep praying for the fires in the Northwest to be contained, and for all the communities affected, from residents to wildlife to first responders.
She is the author of Burning Sky, recipient of three Christy Awards, The Pursuit of Tamsen Littlejohn Christy nominee The Wood's Edge A Flight of Arrows and Many Sparrows.
When she isn’t writing, reading, or researching, Lori enjoys exploring and photographing the Oregon wilderness with her husband. Her novels transport readers to the eighteenth century, where she brings to life the Colonial and early Federal periods of American history. It's my great pleasure to have author Lori Benton here today! Lori was raised east of the Appalachian Mountains, surrounded by early American history going back three hundred years.
