American Revolution Fiction

History’s noblest nation, the United States of America, staggers on the verge of collapse.

In 1753, Catherine Wasson and her extended family depart placid New Hampshire to settle in the raucous Mohawk Valley of New York, in search of fertile land and a better life. It doesn’t come easy.

Within months of their arrival, conflict with their age-old enemy, the French, erupts into a war that threatens their homes and lives.
