Acerca de esta escucha
Massachusetts, 1777: Surrender was just the beginning of the battle.
Arthur Leary thought that his part in the Revolution ended when his generals surrendered their army to the Americans after the Battle of Saratoga. Little did he know that political maneuvering at the highest levels of British and American government would leave him and his fellow soldiers marching across the landscape for years to come...unless he could find a way out. The rocky soil of a New England farm owned by fierce patriots to the American cause offered him hard labor and harder choices - choices that would shape his future and that of his country.
The Convention is the Massachusetts volume of the Tales from a Revolution series, in which each stand-alone novel examines the American War of Independence as it unfolded in a different colony. If you like exploring familiar history from unfamiliar viewpoints, you’ll love The Convention.
Grab your copy of The Convention today, and see how even the most difficult defeats can sow the seeds of liberty!

From Louisa May Alcott's beloved classic Little Women, Geraldine Brooks has animated the character of the absent father, March, and crafted a story "filled with the ache of love and marriage and with the power of war upon the mind and heart of one unforgettable man" (Sue Monk Kidd). With "pitch-perfect writing" (USA Today), Brooks follows March as he leaves behind his family to aid the Union cause in the Civil War. His experiences will utterly change his marriage and challenge his most ardently held beliefs.
