Gold Metal for Children's Diversity & Multicultural
2nd place Middle Grade Fiction & Young Adult Fiction (2023)
Children's Book Winner (4th qtr); 1st place Children's Juvenile & Pre-Teen Fiction (4th qtr)

Award-winning story, based on true events. Etienne’s story continues in America in 1663 as he must chart his course through a dangerous New World.

 A double wedding is interrupted with news of a Esopus attack on the Dutch settlement of Wiltwyck. Women and children were taken hostage and a nearby village was burned to the ground. The whole coony is now preparing for war, and his Lenape friends have not returned. Etienne will have to choose sides. Both choices demand great sacrifice and risk the lives of those he loves.

It is June 10, 1663, and Etienne is running through a field of wild pasture, startling a flock of grouse into the air amid a frenzy of feathers and squawking, as he heads toward a double wedding in town. He has no idea that the ceremony will be interrupted with the news of a Native American attack on the Dutch settlement up north, the consequences of which will turn his world upside down threatening his family, community, and Lenape friends. He must make the unthinkable choice – protect his new friends or defend his family and community.

My excitement increased with each page I read because the amount of action and raw emotions drew me into the story.” – Readers’ Favorite Review

The author’s historical research is admirably rigorous in her meticulous presentation of the inflammatory hostility that existed between settlers and Native peoples in the mid-17th century.” – Kirkus Reviews

"Compelling, respectful novel of 17th century Native Americans and Dutch settlers." - BookLife Reviews

A Home in the Wilderness: A Country for Castoffs by Amanda M. Cetas is book 2 in a series. The author shines with her research and knowledge of late 1600s North America. The details of the scenery, the diverse types of people, and all aspects of their cultures (Dutch, French, Native American, English) are done so impeccably. While some of the book is fiction, the historical parts are well documented, and sources are named for the reader to learn more on the subject if they wish. My excitement increased with each page I read because the amount of action and raw emotions drew me into the story. This book could easily be made into a movie. I enjoyed this book so very much. I have not read the first or third in the series but I will say that this one can stand alone. While a reader can benefit from reading book one and learning about the back history of the characters, it is not necessary to do so to enjoy this story” – Readers’ Favorite Review (2024).

Great Value!
Color: Tall Set - Black White
Better than anticipated. These are sturdy and work very well. They came with a little funnel to fill, but easy enough without it. They are attractive, I keep on top my stove as I have room. Grind well.

Defective coarseness adjuster
Color: Tall Set - Black White
These salt and pepper shakers are ok. According to the description of the product, you should be able to adjust the coarseness of the salt and pepper added to them, but that was not my case. The coarseness adjuster on the set I received is set to one position and there is no way of changing it. The grinders work well, but if you are looking to adjust the coarseness of your salt and/or pepper look for another grinder set.
