Summary: A story about how the Revolutionary War tore families apart.
Comment: As the daughter of a wealthy loyalist couple during the British occupation of Philadelphia in 1777, twelve-year-old Mary lives a life filled with luxury. But all is not right with her family - her older brother, William, is a patriot who ran away to join Washington's army. Because of this, William was disowned, and Marry hasn't heard from him since then. But now, on the eve of a ball hosted by her parents for British officers, Mary discovers William lying wounded in the shed. Mary must get help for her brother and hide him from her parents and the officers. This was an excellant story that showed how the Revolution tore a family apart, and how a brave, loyal young girl strives to bring them back together.

Summary: A bit boring at first, but a real page -turner later!
Comment: Caught in the middle of war. That's a pretty good discription of Mary's situation. Mary's Father is a die heart Tory,(he's loyal to the king of England, that is) witch poses a problem, seeing as her 18 year old brother, William, is a Patriot. On the night of the Peal's ball, which they have been preparing for since page one, Mary discovers an unexpected suprise in the shed... This story deals with alot of emotional subjects: :loyalty, family pride, the deep love of sister for brother, and, no matter how stubborn both might be, father for son. I thought what Mary's father did near the end was great. It brings to mind the old phrase: Actions Speak Louder Then Words. My love of history made me want to try this, and I'm very glad I did.
I Loved this book!!!!
