Two Bent Trees - David Tippens G

Two Bent Trees is an American Revolutionary War story that begins with the Glynne family of England, whose lives are nearly destroyed by members of the Burntthorne family of British aristocracy. Through the Burntthornes' condescension, arrogance, and evil, Rob Glynne, his father, and uncle are pressed into the British Navy and eventually find themselves on the shores of the New World. There they become embroiled in the struggle for independence by the Colonies and wholeheartedly join the Patriot cause. Eventually the Glynne family is reunited in their new country. Along with new Patriot friends, the Glynnes are involved in the opening battles of the conflict and become part of the new Navy of the United States of America. Together, they bravely fight the British. They also face a reappearance of the Burntthornes, who, with the help of their Indian allies, seek to exact their revenge and annihilate the Glynne family. Inspired by their love of liberty, their new country, and one another, the Glynnes and their comrades persevere and finally settle into their innovative farm in the foothills of North Georgia.
