From New York Times bestselling author Amy Harmon comes the saga of
a young woman who dares to chart her own destiny in life and love during
the American Revolutionary War.
In 1760, Deborah Samson is born to Puritan parents in Plympton,
Massachusetts. When her father abandons the family and her mother is
unable to support them, Deborah is bound out as an indentured servant.
From that moment on, she yearns for a life of liberation and adventure.
Twenty years later, as the American colonies begin to buckle in their
battle for independence, Deborah, impassioned by the cause, disguises
herself as a soldier and enlists in the Continental Army. Her impressive
height and lanky build make her transformation a convincing one, and it
isn't long before she finds herself confronting the horrors of war
head-on.
But as Deborah fights for her country's freedom, she must contend with
the secret of who she is--and, ultimately, a surprising love she can't
deny.
