I picked this book up at the dollar store, but the story is worth thousands more! I felt inspired by Josie, the main character, who overcame several struggles to finally end up where she always wanted, with someone who loved her.

Great read. Keeps you interested. This book is set during the time of the American Revolution. It basically tells the story of a woman who for her safety dresses as a man. Remember this was a time when many woman were raped and murdered, reason why she did this.

She is actually thrown into the revolution itself and has to fight as a man and hoping not to be found out, while desperately trying to find her husband.

VERY GOOD READ. Robert Morgan doesn't disappoint. I love his books.
