Resumen del Editor

From New York Times bestselling author Amy Harmon comes the saga of a young woman who dares to chart her own destiny in life and love during the American Revolutionary War.

In 1760, Deborah Samson is born to Puritan parents in Plympton, Massachusetts. When her father abandons the family and her mother is unable to support them, Deborah is bound out as an indentured servant. From that moment on, she yearns for a life of liberation and adventure.

Twenty years later, as the American colonies begin to buckle in their battle for independence, Deborah, impassioned by the cause, disguises herself as a soldier and enlists in the Continental Army. Her impressive height and lanky build make her transformation a convincing one, and it isn’t long before she finds herself confronting the horrors of war head-on.

But as Deborah fights for her country’s freedom, she must contend with the secret of who she is—and, ultimately, a surprising love she can’t deny.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Based on a real person and filled with factual details and characters, this deeply engrossing novel is performed flawlessly by Tavia Gilbert.… Gilbert is simply splendid recounting Deborah's cleverness. She shines delivering the letters Deborah writes but never sends, letters revealing the horrors of war, her growing attachment to General Patterson, and her affection for the men in her outfit. Wonderfully well written and expertly narrated, this is a must-listen.” —AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award Winner

“Of particular interest to fans of historical romance novels…brought vividly to life in a deftly narrated edition by the vocal storytelling talents of Tavia Gilbert.” —Midwest Book Review

“This is a thought-provoking, deeply moving read in which a patriotic woman, forbidden from serving her country due to her sex, defies all odds to do it anyway. Harmon’s riveting narrative allows Samson’s bravery, both on and off the battlefield, to soar from the pages of long-forgotten history.” —Historical Novels Review

Interesting

Very interesting. Based on a true story. Well-researched. But the narration is overboard on the melodrama. Too much emotion attached to the narration. It takes away from the story.

Great story!

This was such a great storyline, and pretty much all true save a few details. Very good listen. The narrator bothered me a bit with the fake crying and dramatic voice…

Great read of historical fiction!

I usually don’t leave reviews but I must for this one. This novel was Devine. The writing, the story, the inspiration! I am a history lover, and like the author, had never heard of Deborah Samson. The narrator did a wonderful job as well. This one will stay with me for a long time to come.

Inspiring

We need to know these stories. Our daughters need to know these stories! Our daughters need to be inspired by women like Deborah who knew they were just as capable as men are and should not be doubted by themselves or others.

Astonishing Story if a Woman who went to War

I had never heard of Deborah Samson before I listened to this book. I served a career in the US Air Force and proudly served. I wish I had made more of an effort to learn the stories of other women who served. This is a testament to the importance of allowing all of humanity to serve in whatever capacity they can. A marvelous testament to the strength and courage of the women who serve.

Amazing story

I couldn’t put it down. And to think that the character’s were in fact real people. So sad we haven’t heard more about this amazing woman in history.
