In 1775, there is no Colonial army, no navy, virtually nothing to oppose the mighty British war machine. The odds against America are ominous! Travis Danvers is astonished when George Washington asks him to reduce the odds - all by himself. What can Travis possibly do? Ansom Chandler is formidable with his long rifle, but can he defeat his haunting past? Audacious Betsy Haber can outwit redcoat sentinels, but can she escape the clutches of bloodthirsty Tories? Can Samuel, a Native American, survive the savagery of the times? Is Elizabeth Bishop a traitor? How can she, the daughter of a British naval commander, justify her friendship with the rebels? Where can she find peace amidst the tumult of an 'impossible' love, a terrifying kidnapping, and the dictates of her heritage? Every ounce of courage and faith that these extraordinary people possess will be needed to help America survive its perilous birth.
