Title: Outlaws of Ravenhurst
Description: The Outlaws of Ravenhurst is a fascinating story of a Charles Gordon, young heir of Ravenhurst. Born in Scotland during a time of fierce persecution of the Catholic Faith, his uncle Stephen, a Catholic priest, smuggles him to Maryland, Virgina when he is just an infant. There he grows up with the large Abel family and his "twin" Joel. Daddy Abel, a staunch Catholic, teaches him many valuable things. "There is nothing worth buying, not fast horses nor fine houses, not even a place in the King’s court, if the price you pay for it is the fire of Hell for evermore," he tells his young adopted son whom he loves as his own. When his Uncle, Sir Roger, arrives in Maryland unexpectedly from Scotland, demanding the Heir of Ravenhurst to be returned to his true homeland, Gordon's Faith is tested as it never was before. Will he remain true to Daddy Abel's teachings and his own good mother, or will his Uncle and his evil men, by first flattery, then violence, manage to make Gordon abandon his Faith? This is a thrilling book for young Catholics, and it will truly inspire its readers with a fresh zeal for the Catholic Faith.
