The Dark Side of the Mountain

By: Bonnie S. Johnston

Narrated by: Jodi Hockinson

A blend of fact and fiction, The Dark Side of the Mountain describes two turbulent decades in the life of Anna Margaretha Mallow, an extraordinary woman caught up in events she cannot understand or control. Moved by her husband to the frontier of Virginia at the beginning of the French and Indian War, she and her five children are forced to seek safety at Fort Seybert from the notorious Chief Killbuck, who's on a death march to save his people and culture. Surviving what becomes a deadly massacre, Anna and her children are taken captive and marched to the Ohio River Valley where she endures indescribable losses and change. Only courage and perseverance sustain her during his dark period in American history.

I am a Mallow, so my descendants are within this descriptive narration during difficult times. Much gratitude to the author for her words. The words and story goes beyond the pages, as I will forever be aware of their sacrifices so we have better lives today.
