The Reluctance of Richard Booth

"This book was a blast, strong character development alongside lots of fun historical detail. The author finds an excuse to weave in all sorts of interesting period trivia without compromising the story or feeling shoehorned." - JayRichard's world is in freefall. His introverted nature is no match for the dangers that are emerging all around him. Growing up without a mother, he timidly stands in the long shadow cast by his Vicar father, but soon finds himself thrust into a cataclysm of events that promise to swallow and destroy him. He must overcome his ingrained fears and tumble from threat to peril as he carves out his existence in a strange, and unyielding world. Native Americans, Puritan strangleholds, and British sovereignty will all clash to forge a man who ultimately not only defines himself, but reflects the complex spirit of a convulsing new world. Author's note: I recently repackaged this book in an effort to appeal to a wider demographic. To the cherished few that ordered the original, please know that the content is the same, just reformatted inside and out, so save your money. To the rest of the amazon world, I would share that writing a novel, hiring an editor and proofreader, and clicking "publish" is just the beginning of an author's journey. Creating a book that people will actually want to order is a whole different story (pun intended). If you do decide to buy this novel, thank you. It is my humble attempt to honor all those incredibly brave souls whose stories are lost, but whose lives helped to create this country nonetheless. I hope you find it worthy.Paul
