The Flight from Bartertown Jeremy Burkholder

Set in the 1500's, The Flight From Bartertown is a tale of four civilizations that came together, thus forming an industrial center called Bartertown. It was here where the Aristocrats, the Separatists, The Celibates, and the Nephilim came together to barter for wares with one another. The story centers around a girl named Isabel who is from the land of the Aristocrats. While on their journey to transport Isabel's niece to the land of the Celibates because the Aristocrats could have only two daughters per family, Isabel and the Fontaine family's most trusted slave, Solomon, are caught in the middle of a war that breaks out between the Nephilim and the Aristocrats. Unable to return to her home, Isabel finds herself with a group of people, including a giant and his seven midget sons, running for her life. But alas, the only place they can escape to is over a mountain that is teeming with wild animals, not to mention winter is now upon them. Follow along as Isabel is caught up into this epic tale where she first hears of the Christian faith, and then wrestles with tough questions when she sees that despite her newfound faith, life is still a struggle, and there is no guarantee any of them will make it through alive.
