The Valley of the Sycamore: Sycamore Valley Cynthia Bennett Williams

This is the story of Jason and Julie Dale, a man and woman whose lives were so inseparable that they could not be torn apart by fear or doubt, danger or distance - or even death itself. Perhaps it is mostly the story of Julie, whose dreams materialized because she could never concede the impossibility of their attainment. This story is historical fiction and is based on the settlement of the Old Northwest Territory. Although it covers a time period between 1790 and 1810, it is a timeless story. As you read this book you will become one with this family, this community, this Sycamore Valley. You will share the hardship suffered by these early settlers who came to this valley with so little, yet with the help of each other, were able to survive. You will also share their romance, their adventure, as well as their sadness and their joy. Their faith, especially the faith of Julie, will be an inspiration to you. We could learn many lessons from this story, a story you will not want to end, as you will not want to leave this valley, The Valley of the Sycamore.
