Oh, Kentucky!
(Sixteen-year-old Kitty Gentry and her family came to Fort...)
Sixteen-year-old Kitty Gentry and her family came to Fort Boonesborough to farm the rich land. But when fierce Shawnee attacked the white settlers, the horrified young Kitty was forced to seek refuge within the walls of the fort. There her real life as a founding mother of Kentucky began - a life in which she would survive tragedy and heart-wrenching grief and find the all-encompassing passion of great love as the burgeoning territory became a state.

Edit ProfileEducation
Betty left school at the young age of fourteen to marry and have a family.
Career
Receveur maintained a great love of books that eventually evolved into a career writing novels set in historical America. Her first novel, a historical romance titled Sable Flanagan (1979), took her ten years to write, and it was another ten years before she found a publisher. Undaunted, she developed her skills in the meantime by contributing stories and poetry to periodicals.
After her first novel was published, Receveur released two more historical romances - Molly Gallagher (1982) and Carrie Kingston (1984) - before moving on to her most ambitious project, a historical novel published in two volumes: Oh, Kentucky! (1990) and Kentucky Home (1995).
