About This Book
A teenage heroine in colonial America navigates household duties, family expectations, and budding affections as military conflict intrudes on daily life. The narrative traces her interactions with soldiers, spies, neighbors, and prisoners through episodes of occupation, foraging, winter quarters, and exchanges that reshape survival and social ties. Interwoven domestic scenes and moments of romance illuminate choices about loyalty, honor, and sacrifice, moving the focus between intimate personal growth and the broader disruptions of wartime community life.
