If an entire nation could seek its freedom, why not a girl? As the Revolutionary War begins, thirteen-year-old Isabel wages her own fight for freedom. Promised freedom upon the death of their owner, she and her sister Ruth, in a cruel twist of fate, become the property of a malicious New York City couple who have no sympathy for the Revolution and even less for Ruth and Isabel. Then a slave with ties to the Patriots encourages Isabel to spy on her owners.

Review:

“Well researched and affecting in its presentation, the story offers readers a fresh look at the conflict and struggle of a developing nation.”
