Description

<p>Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</p>

Story Behind The Book

Many of us go through life not fully understanding why certain things happened or why we felt led to make decisions. Often times there are unseen forces unknown to us orchestrating things like the wizard behind the curtain. We are born in to this world with purpose and destiny. If we follow the destined path, we will fulfill our duty to humanity and go the way of the ancestors in peace. It is critical that we do not allow circumstances, doubters, or naysayers keep us from the pursuit of goals or aspirations. The process of death begins the moment we are born which is precisely why we must go hard after our dreams and do it unapologetically. Keturah's Song was one of grief and turmoil but her fierce determination to overcome circumstances makes her a role model and force to be reckoned with.

<p>&quot;Keturah's Song&quot; is one of the best books that I've read in a long time! I can definitely see myself in the strong-willed Keturah.&quot;  -G.

I am now reading the book for the third time!&quot; F.
