Ranked #1 in Young Adult Fiction at the 2020 Independent Publisher Book Awards and #1 in Young Adult Fiction at the 2020 Summit Book Awards. As the former colonies struggled for freedom, the American Revolution rested in the hands of a brave and resourceful teenage girl. Sixteen-year-old Susanna Boleyn resembles rebellious America; she longs for independence. While her brothers were playing for the Patriots, she longed to do more than just tedious housework and attend spinning bees in sleepy Cape Town, Virginia. When British General Cornwallis invades her family’s Bolingbrook Plantation, she overhears his secret plan: to capture American General Lafayette in France and defeat the Patriots. To her shock, she finds herself at the center of a war. Now America’s fight for freedom hinged on her ability to rescue Lafayette from capture. But can she overcome her mother’s objections, face her fears, find Lafayette, and outwit the famed General Cornwallis and his entire army? Based on a true story of revolutionary courage and conviction, it is sure to appeal to readers of all ages. ***In memory of Suzanne, a new historical marker now stands at the Halfway House in North Chesterfield, Virginia. Additionally, pursuant to a mandate from the General Assembly, Virginia celebrated Susanna’s birthday on December 5 as “Susanne Boleyn Day.”
