This book is about an English fourteen year old girl who arrives in South Carolina to live with her uncle Robert because her father and mother died. She then struggles with life, love and her true identity in the American Revolutionary War. I chose this book because I wanted to learn about information of American Revolution, and I wanted to learn how writers blend made-up characters into historical events. I don’t recommend this book to you because you won’t want to read this book again if you read it once. It isn’t filled with adventure, not action-packed and it’s not addictive, so you wouldn’t finish off the book so quick.

At what price does independence come? Lady Jane Prentice, orphaned daughter of an English earl, arrives in Charlestown, South Carolina, in 1776, and finds herself plunged into the middle of a heated war--a war not only between her former country and her new home, but also between the members of her own family, whose loyalties are strongly divided in America's fight for freedom.
Torn by family responsibilities, the brutality of war, a secret romance, and her own growing need for independence, Jane is forced to adopt many roles, until she finds the courage to become the person she wants to be: just Jane.
