About this book

News of his father's death at Lexington forces sixteen-year-old Roger Davis to think about protecting his family. Their home lies near Boston, where passing soldiers, distant firing and burning buildings make the conflict immediate. His mother remains loyal to the King, and Roger begins to share her commitment. Frank Baird gives this historical novel a personal voice through Roger's account of grief, responsibility and political choice.

The divisions reach beyond the family. In a church congregation, worshippers struggle to choose between King and people, with some leaving while others remain. Roger later describes his family's removal from their country home and their search for help in besieged Boston. These scenes give readers interested in United Empire Loyalists a view of allegiance expressed through household decisions, public worship and the loss of familiar surroundings.
