Liberty's Call--A Story of the American Revolution

Liberty's Call--A Story of the American Revolution

Struggling to survive in a world where acts of love can also be acts of treason, a young girl is forged into a woman by the American Revolution.

The year is 1774 and Janice Meredith is the daughter of landed gentry in New Jersey loyal to the King. Her life becomes complicated when a handsome and mysterious bondservant, the hero of our story, arrives from London. Yet his presence does not keep her from attempting to elope with a wealthy visitor who is actually a British spy. When war breaks it rolls across her New Jersey home as the familyâ€™s barns are ransacked for foodâ€”by both armiesâ€”and a battle involving hundreds takes place, literally, in her back yard.
After she frees our hero, now a captured Patriot, Janice is arrested as a traitor. Sheâ€™s in Trenton on Christmas Day 1776, and on horseback between two fighting armies during the Battle of Princeton. She dines with General Washington after the Battle of Harlem Heights, and with British General Howe when he commandeers her familyâ€™s home. Though starving, she refuses undesirable wealthy suitors and joins her father in a Patriot prison camp. During the climatic battles of Yorktown, sheâ€™s with the wounded and the dying.

Through the turmoil, shadowing her life and her heart--that mysterious bond servant turned Patriot.

Any resemblance between Libertyâ€™s Call and another story about a sweeping American war and a young woman juggling suitors (think Gone With the Wind) is the fault of Margaret Mitchell. Liberty's Call is based on Janice Meredith, a bestseller in 1899--the year before Mitchell was born.
