About This Book

The American Revolution has not yet begun in earnest, but already there are signs of rebellion in the Emerson household. Brought up in a relatively liberal home, Jemima Emerson is quite a challenge for her tutor, John Reid, who is known as a Tory with strong ties to England. How can Jem's parents be friends with a man who opposes American liberty? Jem longs for freedom within her home and throughout her homeland, and John Reid represents the forces that restrict her.

Jem and her family soon find themselves joining the revolution in whatever ways they can. Before long, Jem discovers that there is much more to John Reid than she ever imagined.
