BLAZES & BRIMSTONE. 2022. 199 pages : Hard Cover ; 6 x 0.69 x 9 inches. Lyle and his siblings are living on the cusp of the future in the New World. Their step-mom is American and their Dad is Dutch, like most everyone else in the city of Holland where the Dutch immigrants have settled. Now, the fall of 1871, smoke has been blowing through the town for days. Contained forest fires are not so much contained anymore. Worst of all, their step-mom, Winny, is about to have a baby, their horses are separated because the filly is being weaned, and all the Hell and Brimstone the preacher always preached about seems to have broken loose on their city. When the fire breaks, they almost make their escape. Lyle, Maggie & Rudy are on the back of the surrey and headed safely out of town when they hear a whinny—a desparate cry of a filly from inside the livery stable. Lyle jumps from the back of the surrey. He hears Maggie and Rudy land behind him, and their adventure of rescuing horses and escaping the fire begins. The horses will not be their only rescue. And it could be the children need rescuing themselves. 20221027. American Civil War (1861-1865.) Historical fiction.
