Publisher Description

Jody Hedlund Brings History to Life Like Few Others

In 1763 Massachusetts, Susanna Smith has grown up with everything she's ever wanted, except one thing: an education. Because she's a female, higher learning has been closed to her, but her quick mind and quicker tongue never back down from a challenge. She's determined to put her status to good use, reaching out to the poor and deprived. And she knows when she marries well, she will be able to continue her work with the less fortunate.

Ben Ross grew up a farmer's son and has nothing to his name but his Harvard education. A poor country lawyer, he doesn't see how he'll be able to fulfill his promise to make his father proud of him. When family friends introduce him to the Smith family, he's drawn to quick-witted Susanna but knows her family expects her to marry well. When Susanna's decision to help an innocent woman no matter the cost crosses with Ben's growing disillusionment with their British rulers, the two find themselves bound together in what quickly becomes a very dangerous fight for justice.

Great historical fiction!

I love it when a book far surpasses my expectations, and this book did just that. This is an exciting, fast paced adventure with imperfect characters that have you cheering them on immediately anyways. I appreciated that Susanna wasn't comfortable with her deceptive role in helping the indentured girl escape detection and she was very aware of the danger she was placing the live around her in by aiding the runaway. It wasn't an easy decision for her.

There is a lot of interesting details about the time period, what it was like to live in the young Massachusetts Colony under British rule. Jody Hedlund obviously did her homework. I shows in the writing. There were a few words I'd never heard before but I got the idea of what the item was by the rest of the description, and that never interrupted a vital part of the story. My only small complaint was that there was to much romance in this story, but in my opinion it did stay very clean.
