PAULA'S REVIEW:
“Any man who will stake his very life on winning independence is not easily overtaken or undone.” Mae Bohannon
“The American Revolution was an unparalleled feat of faith, vision and endurance. May we never lose sight of what those first founders and Patriots gave us.” Laura Frantz.
With rich historical detail, the author spins a worthy story of life during the American Revolution. The characters are interesting and have a depth that shows their faith and patriotism. I love the quotes from some of the founding fathers at the chapter beginnings. I love books that highlight historic events and hope that readers will glean some understanding and strengthen their appreciation of what our ancestors went through to give us our free country.
Mae and Rhys captivated me with not only their love of each other but love of an emerging nation. Rhys was a true hero and a great leader. They both relied on God and His leading and both grew in their faith and loyalty. An exceptional, well researched story by a truly gifted author.

BackCover Blurb:
The call for liberty creates a divide between family and country, desire and duty, love and loyalty.
In
1777, caught in the crossroads of the American Revolution, sisters
Maebel and Coralie Bohannon's quaint New Jersey village becomes a
battleground as they house American officers. Rebellion ripples through
their family as members take opposing sides—Patriots and
Loyalists—causing a deep chasm that fractures their once-unbreakable
bond.
As Mae's friendship grows with the American general Rhys
Harlow, Coralie continues her liaison with her childhood sweetheart, a
British officer stationed in New York. Mae, torn between her deepening
love for the general and suspicion that her sister is a British spy,
leaves the only home she's ever known for the New York frontier. When
betrayal strikes in the heart of the wilderness, she's forced to take a
perilous journey that tests her very survival and those she loves, all
in the name of liberty.
On the 250th anniversary of the signing
of the Declaration of Independence, Laura Frantz offers a stirring
friends-to-lovers historical romance of divided loyalties, patriotism,
sacrifice, sisterhood, and love set during the American Revolution.
