Rating: 4 out of 5

Comments: This was a great story, but for some reason, I read it really slowly. It is a well-researched piece of historical fiction, and I thoroughly enjoyed this look at the Revolutionary War from the perspective of someone who is completely neutral, only seeking her own freedom. I would recommend it to anyone, it is a fantastic read!
