Noted author Scott O'Dell (Island of the Blue Dolphins, etc.) once again presents a well researched, interest catching historical novel.
Interesting book, read it many years ago when I was younger and it was appropriate.
Sarah Bishop isn't a Tory. She isn't a patriot. Sarah Bishop is a 15 year old girl.
The Revolutionary War has come to her village, and the Patriots have made her an orphan without a home. Now the Brittish army is after her for a crime that she didn't commit.
Running for her life, Sarah finds a cave in the woods. Alone, she makes her home there. The wild animals, the terrible hardships are not as bad as what she left behind. Sarah Bishop vows never to trust anyone again.
The war will end. Peace will come. But will peace ever find Sarah Bishop?
