PAULA'S REVIEW:
Sparked by the story of Rahab in the Bible, this story follows the long journey of Rebekah from her fall from grace to her redemption at the battle of Stony Point during the Revolutionary War.
Sparked by the story of Rahab in the Bible, this story follows the long journey of Rebekah from her fall from grace to her redemption at the battle of Stony Point during the Revolutionary War.
Some situations were hard to read about, such as prostitution, but were realistically portrayed. The descriptive language put me right in the battles and had me empathizing with the characters.
Rebecca was put in an impossible place of her own making, alienating her father. But Reverend Wainwright continue to pray for her and encouraged her to return to Christ. She was caught between the British Loyalists and found herself helping a Patriot spy. There were lots of tense moments that kept the story exciting.
For fans of Revolutionary history with a redemptive thread.

As the Revolutionary War unfurls around her, Rebekah Stanton is abandoned by the man who once claimed to love her. Shunned by her father and forced to give up her child, she finds herself thrust into prostitution at the local boarding house.
When the British seize control of the nearby fort, she gives little thought to the officers who frequent the boarding house. Men are men regardless of the color of their uniform...or so she believes. But then a young man-a Patriot spy named Benjamin Renshaw-stumbles upon her in the darkness, and she saves him from a group of pursuing Redcoats.
With an attack on the fort brewing in the background and the father of her child returned to serve with the British, Rebekah is torn between old dreams and new hope, struggling all the while to find peace and forgiveness in a place of rising conflict.
