Others ran straight into history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the spring of 1836, Texas burned with fear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSanta Anna's army marched north, leaving ruin in its wake, and the word spread faster than gunfire: \u003ci\u003eno mercy\u003c\/i\u003e. As towns emptied overnight, families fled with only what they could carry-faith in God, children in their arms, and the desperate hope that freedom lay just one mile farther down the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Runaway Scrape\u003c\/b\u003e thrusts readers into the raw terror and unbreakable resolve of those harrowing weeks, when survival depended on speed, sacrifice, and courage few knew they possessed. Based on true firsthand accounts recorded by Dilue Rose Harris in 1900, every scene pulses with authenticity-every cry in the dark, every wagon rut in the mud, every whispered prayer beneath a blackened sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile General Sam Houston struggles to hold together a fragile Texian army, civilians race eastward ahead of Santa Anna's advance. Mothers give birth on jolting wagons. Fathers stand guard through freezing nights. Children learn too early the sound of distant cannon. Cholera stalks the camps. Rivers flood. Supplies vanish. And still-they move.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause stopping means death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough smoke-choked roads and rain-soaked camps, strangers become family. Acts of quiet heroism rise from exhaustion and grief. And at the heart of the story stand the women of Texas-resilient, faithful, and fierce-who carried not only their children, but the future of a nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not polished legend.\u003cbr\u003eThis is history in motion-dirty, dangerous, and deeply human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you love tense historical fiction, true survival stories, and emotionally powerful narratives where faith is tested at the edge of annihilation, \u003ci\u003eThe Runaway Scrape\u003c\/i\u003e will seize you from the first page and refuse to let go.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWalk the road where Texas was forged in fear, faith, and fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sidney St James\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798245329901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.15d","brand":"Sidney St James","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874555834623,"sku":"9798245329901","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-runaway-scrape-sidney-st-james-9798245329901","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
