Genre: Historical Fiction

Can you imagine, at twelve years old, witnessing someone being hanged? That's exactly what happened to Sophia, a young girl traveling with her mother in 1776. Her older brother (and hero) has decided that he wants to fight for the Revolutionists, so he walks away from his family truly believing that he is doing what is best the country. She has very little contact with him after he leaves, and frequently she worries that he has been imprisoned or worse.
Sophia, at a young age, is expected to be wise beyond her years when she finds herself in a situation where she has to stand up to treachery against her country... or be hanged herself.
Will Sophia's hero, her brother, survive this brutal Revolutionary War? Will Sophia be able to stand up for what she believes in without it costing her her life? Read this awesome historical tale and see what happens!
