The book is chock full of real people you will recognize the names of Sam Adams, John Adams, and, perhaps, Henry Knox, as well as the bona fide case of "Winslow v. Clarke qui tam" and the Boston Massacre conflict. The historical aspects of the novel ring true and provide an intriguing look at the birth of a new nation and how our forefathers fought in the streets (and not just the battlefields) for liberty, justice, and equality. Each character is much more than a caricature set against real history situations. This book may be considered as part of the YA genre, but with the caveat that there is just one 'bad' word and a gratuitous bed scene. As historical fiction, it is informative and genuine good read from start to finish. The twist near the end was unexpected, yet believable.
Follow Jane's journey toward finding her place in her family and society and how even the smallest act of rebellion can make a big difference.
P.S. My mother loves to read historical novels so I lent it to her. She read it in less than a week - which is something she rarely does. She loved it and couldn't wait to find out what happened to Jane and her two suitors. She also loved the historical aspects and made her think about the life and times of women in the 18th century.
