D. C. Force

The Huguenot II: Building the Dream picks up right where The Huguenot: Flight From Terror ends. Readers fell in love with three French émigré forced to flee France because of their Protestant faith and settle in the British colonies of 17th century North America. Now in The Huguenot II: Building the Dream, the trio faces fresh challenges. Jacques: wants strong but kind husbands for his daughters, men capable of protecting and keeping them from harm while not abusing them but he almost loses his own wife to a predator right under his nose; Marie: has learned to stand up and defend herself, kill when necessary, and be assertive in a man's world, but nothing has prepared her to deal with nightmarish fears from the past or the silent menace of a sociopath's insane jealousy; Richard: never expected to live a life frustrated by unrequited love. He will always stand by his best friend faithfully but can he control his fierce desires for his best friend's wife? Terrorism-frontier style, hurricanes, societal crazies, opioid addiction, alternative medicine, the challenges of business and parenting, teenage pregnancy, secrets and lies in the marriage bed, deadly Native American resistance to the colonial land-grab, the breakdown of communications, race riots... sounds like headlines from our own time but this is the dawn of the 18th century! Human nature does not change. Life is not easy in any century but LOVE can deal with everything... or can it? Each of a growing number of characters has his/her own dream to pursue, most will succeed in a land of amazing opportunity, some will fail as each must find his own path in building the dream
