The Power to Change Lives

Three teenage friends confront the harshness of war, deceit and slavery as they battle their feelings for one another. Henderson Bohannan is charmed by the spirit of the beautiful blonde Winnie Harp and intrigued by the intelligence and conviction of Kate Gate. However, each girl is kept out of his reach by promises made to others years before. Will Henderson convince Kate to break her vow of celibacy? Or will he rescue Winnie from the arranged marriage with the obnoxious Chase Ferguson?

Follow the lives of these three teenagers and their families in the first installment of author Mike Jordan’s Lost Heroes Series as they confront power-hungry neighbors, crooked authorities and the injustices of slavery. And witness how love, wisdom, conviction – along with a mysterious silver coin – affect the lives of the people of The Hills of Tennessee in the American South.

Love, honor and freedom

Even as Henderson Bohannan explores new land for his family in the Arkansas Ozarks, trouble brews back home in Tennessee. An angry plantation owner, bent on revenge, orders slave hunters to kill a family of runaways and burn the home of their strident protector, Kate Gate. As the evil Fergusons carry out their horrific deed, and flames fill the Tennessee night, Kate and the slave family are scattered to the wind. One of the runaways becomes legendary for his knack at eluding the patrols, and another, a slave girl named Mary, finds unexpected romance at Lakeport Plantation.

Years later, Henderson returns from the Gold Rush with his seven Arkansas Travelers, all intent on packing up their families and returning to the rich ranch land they had purchased in California. But the Bohannans, and their kin the Harps, instead find their hearts being tugged toward the delta land of Southeastern Arkansas. And Lakeport Plantation. A place where the nightmares of a night of fire and death so many years before still live. And a place where the Ferguson slave patrol rules the night.

Based on a true story, The Freedom Song is the second installment of author Mike Jordan’s Lost Heroes Series.
