About this book

In 1760s Massachusetts, a young woman bound to servitude dreams of something more—so when the Revolutionary War ignites, she makes the daring choice to disguise herself as a soldier and fight for her country's independence. Tall and determined, Deborah enlists in the Continental Army, finally seizing the freedom and adventure she's always craved, even as she navigates the brutal realities of warfare. But keeping her identity secret proves complicated when an unexpected romance threatens to unravel everything she's fought for, forcing her to choose between the life she's built and the love she can't deny. This sweeping historical saga celebrates a woman who refuses to be confined by the expectations of her time—and the unexpected ways that courage and vulnerability can intersect.

Longing folk ballads meet quiet determination—fingerpicking acoustics, whispered vocals, and gentle indie arrangements that capture stolen moments and brave hearts. Think Mumford & Sons, Iron & Wine, and First Aid Kit. Bittersweet, intimate, and yearning.
