Letters from Yorktown (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781961548435)

It's 1781 in Yorktown, Virginia, and Abigail's world is caught between loyalty and rebellion, freedom and captivity. With the American Revolution nearing its dramatic end, Abigail finds herself at the heart of the conflict between the nations and within her family.

Her father remains loyal to the British crown, while her 15-year-old brother Jonathan has secretly joined the rebel army alongside Ben, an enslaved boy from their farm. As the war rages on, Abigail and her friend Cissy, Ben's brave and honest sister, share quiet moments that open Abigail's eyes to the cruel realities of slavery and the meaning of true freedom.

When letters begin to arrive from Jonathan, Abigail treasures each word, torn between pride in her brother's courage and fear for his safety. Through these letters and her experience on their Yorktown farm, Abigail begins to question what she's always been taught and to find her own voice in a divided world.

Letters from Yorktown is a powerful story of friendship, courage, and awakening, set during a time when every choice could change the course of a young nation's future.
