“We never grieve without hope, for we know that nothing is hidden from God. We can trust His sovereignty in all things.”
What an unlikely romance between patriot Libby and Lieutenant Isaac Harrison of
the occupying British army in Boston 1775.
I love learning about the history of our country and Ms. Soja brings the past
to life in this wonderful story full of danger, intrigue and personal
struggles.
Libby is twenty and lives with her twice-widowed mother. They are housing a British officer during a volatile time in the formation of our nation. Isaac knew and respected her father and they would discuss the Bible. Libby’s mother lives out her faith and is often the voice of reason, sharing scripture and wisdom.
There is much to ponder in this story. We need to remember our roots and appreciate those who sacrificed to give us our freedoms and this wonderful country.
Ms. Soja brings the challenges of an emerging nation to a personal level as the
characters learn to navigate their faith in troubling times. I look forward to the next book in this excellent series.

BackCover Blurb:
Some scars are born from duty, others from rebellion—theirs were carved by both.
Libby Caldwell has been in love with Isaac Harrison for years, ever since her late father befriended him. While her head knows there is no hope of sharing her life with a British soldier, her heart is much more difficult to convince, especially now that he is quartering in her home. With Boston under siege and battle looming, each day together forces her to recognize how deep her feelings truly are…and how forbidden.
Bound by duty to both his family and country, Isaac is determined to serve honorably in the King’s army, despite never wishing to be a soldier. But quartering with the widow and daughter of his old friend places another obligation on his shoulders—that of their well-being. The more time he spends with Miss Caldwell, the more that duty begins to feel like something personal, something he cannot allow.
As the siege of Boston tightens, Libby finds herself drawn into a dangerous game of espionage that could save the Patriot cause—and destroy any chance of a future with the man she’s growing to love.
Will betrayal and war keep their two worlds forever apart? Or will they look to the One whose love knows no bounds to bring them healing and a future?
