Overview
Time Period: Dec. 1764 - May 1766 Tensions
simmer in 1765 Boston, home to twelve-year-old Lizzie Murray.
Residents of the city are dividing over loyalty to England-and the
divisions strike within Lizzie’s own family, as her brother and
father often find themselves at odds. When a mob wounds a young
British soldier, Lizzie chooses to help the frightened Redcoat-a
move that brings even more trouble to her life. Where is God in the
emotional upheaval afflicting the colonies? Can Lizzie overcome the
fear that weighs on her soul? Written especially for eight- to
twelve-year-old girls, this story teaches important lessons of
American history and the Christian faith.
