MEDIA ADVISORY, Oct. 7 /Christian Newswire/ -- Gloria Waldron Hukle's "Manhattan: Seeds of the Big Apple" now available as ebook via Kindle and Nook, takes a long overdue look into the rich history of the formative years of one of the most famous pieces of real estate in the world.

We follow the young Dutch woman, Tennake, and her new husband, Resolved, as they travel to the new world to face the unknown. Confronted with both friendly and hostile natives, slaves, and the possibility of single-handedly raising her husband's three children from a previous marriage, Tennake is a girl trying to hold onto her roots while forging her new destiny.

Resolved is a man true to his name, determined to protect his family at all costs. This novel is a great read for those wanting a glimpse into history through skilled storytelling. Unpretentious and inviting, it is a tale of hardship and determination, of hope and survival. It is the reason writers write.
