Sarah Bishop is a young teen girl who lives in the time period of the Revolutionary War. Her father is a soft-spoken Patriot for King George, and her brother somehow became a Tory. Sarah doesn't particularly take either side; she just wants to be far away from the war.
As events play out, Sarah is all alone, with only the animals in the woods to be her friends (and some animals are her enemies). She learns to survive somehow by herself, always afraid of the British soldiers coming to take her to prison.
Working at a tavern, Quakers, caves, Indians, the Bible, losing everything... How does it all tie together?
I found this to be a great read. I realize some will not like the characters who talk about witches putting spells on the town's crops. However, I see the witch trials only from a historical view. I don't mind reading about it, because I know it was something real that took place at the time.
All in all, a very good book - for ages 12 and up.
