{"product_id":"white-warrior-tonya-ruddell-9798250749503","title":"White Warrior: The Life of Stephen Ruddell","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the summer of 1780, twelve-year-old Stephen Ruddell watched from the stockade walls of Ruddell's Station as a British cannon tore through the Kentucky frontier. Captured by Shawnee warriors alongside his younger brother Abraham, Stephen was marched north into a world of painted trees, longhouses, and new names. Adopted into the tribe, he became Sinnamatha-Big Fish-the boy who carried his brother through fever and snow, who learned the bow and the tomahawk, who stood beside the rising war chief Tecumseh as the dream of a united Native confederacy took fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTorn between two worlds, Stephen loved fiercely across divides: Nahimana, She-Who-Waits, the Shawnee woman whose quiet strength anchored him through years of war; Sarah, the gentle schoolteacher who taught him healing after grief; Rebecca, the steadfast widow who shared his final decades. Through raids, battles, and the shattering fall of Tecumseh at the Thames, Stephen carried the weight of loyalty, loss, and unbreakable love-father to children on both sides of the Mississippi, preacher to settlers who once feared the painted warrior he had been.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sweeping tale of frontier violence, captivity, adoption, and redemption, Big Fish: The Life of Stephen Ruddell is a deeply moving portrait of a man who lived between worlds, loved across them, and carried the fire of two peoples until the river finally brought him home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePartial fiction, deeply rooted in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tonya Ruddell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798250749503\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.09d","brand":"Tonya Ruddell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874598793471,"sku":"9798250749503","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/white-warrior-tonya-ruddell-9798250749503","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
