It is the day prior to the Battle of Lexington; a glimpse into rural life in eastern Massachusetts. The next day the wind of war sweeps the countryside and changes life there forever. Overnight a young becomes a man. Culminating the two-day period, he faces dual allegiance: to his family and to his country. How should he face it? Which should he choose? As a historical novel, April Morning is a fitting companion to Ester Forbes Johnny Tremain.
