Seth Braxton fought loyally in the American Revolution. Not for England, his homeland, but for America and the rich Virginian farmland he owns and cherishes. It is a way of life he has wholeheartedly come to love. But the war and his role as an American patriot has torn his family apart. With both parents dead, at the onset of war, his younger sister, Caroline, was sent to England to live with their loyalist grandfather whom Seth believes has disowned him.
Much to his surprise, Seth Braxton learns of his grandfather’s death and that the old man left his entire estate, Ten Width, to him. Although reluctant to leave his beloved Virginia, he travels to England to check on his sister and conclude matters regarding his inheritance. Then he dreams of returning to America.
When he arrives, he is dismayed to learn that tragedy has struck. Caroline has lost not only her husband, but her young son too. She is bedridden with illness and grief. At her side is her long time friend Juleah, the daughter of a kind but somewhat demented old gentleman and a delicate mother.
Juleah’s beauty and strength instantly cast a spell on Seth and they soon wed. But Juleah’s past rises to the forefront and prevents harmony in her new marriage. An old suitor, the son of his grandfather’s second wife, is angered at her marriage and he sets out to take back what he has always sought – Juleah and Ten Width.
Bit by bit, Seth and Juleah find themselves embroiled in treachery. From kidnapping to deceit, betrayal to murder, one sinister plot after another fills the pages of this novel to ensnare the reader to the very end.
Surrender the Wind is a gripping tale of intrigue that kept me turning pages long after I should have turned out the lights. I found the characters believable and well-rounded, their dialogue vividly realistic. The pace quickens chapter by chapter as one story twist after another is revealed. Historically accurate, the reader is drawn into the detailed descriptions of English life. Expect the unexpected in this inspirational tale of romance and history.

If you love a great historical novel, filled with romance, action, and intrigue, then you won’t want to miss Rita Gerlach’s latest release, Surrender the Wind. Your heart will soar from the shores of America to the lush green hills of England and then plunge into despair as the characters you’ve grown to love face a cruel and bitter enemy, kidnappings, murders, and deep sorrows. But do not despair, God’s justice and true love prevail in the end.
Ms. Gerlach’s historic research is evident throughout the story, and her attention to detail and literary descriptions of scenes placed me right in the middle of the action, whether in England or on a ship crossing the Atlantic or in America. I could smell the flowers, the salt in the sea, feel the wind, and hear the sounds of birds, the clank of wagons, and the lap of waves. Action-packed adventure that will keep you up in the late hours of the night. A thoroughly enjoyable story. I look forward to reading more from Rita Gerlach.
