7 posts | 7 read | 5 to read
What would you risk to be free? Its 1776 and Isabel, Curzon, and Ruth have only ever known life as slaves. But now the young country of America is in turmoilthere are whisperings, then cries, of freedom from England spreading like fire, and with it is a whole new type of danger. For freedom being fought for one isnt necessarily freedom being fought for allespecially if you are a slave. But if an entire nation can seek its freedom, why cant they? As war breaks out, sides must be chosen, death is at every turn, and one question forever rings in their ears: Would you risk everything to be free? As battles rage up and down the Eastern seaboard, Isabel, Curzon, and Ruth flee, separate, fight, face unparalleled heartbreak and, just like war, they must depend on their alliesand each otherif they are to survive. Which leads to a second, harrowing question: Amidst so much pain and destruction, can they even recognize who their allies are?

I highly recommend this historical fiction trilogy set during the American Revolution, which is experienced by fictional characters Isabel & Curzon who seek their own freedom. I often forgot this was written for younger readers; not dumbed down & also is unflinching regarding unfairness of what “fighting for freedom” really meant. Excellent research into locales & events as well, along with additional info provided by appendixes/Q&A in each book.

GardenJess I need to read the last one. Amazing series. 3y
ValerieAndBooks This month is #blackhistorymonth so this series would be excellent for that — but really, any month of the year is a good time for these. 3y
