Planting the tree of liberty is never easy.

Abe is haunted by the sudden loss of both of his parents. Left to manage a New-Hampshire land grant and its troublesome Royal Navy mast trees with only his eccentric aunt to guide him, he finds comfort in a new friendship with Betty, a decidedly odd neighbor. Defying the Royal Governor’s crackdowns and his aunt’s commands, Abe makes choices that put him on a collision course with both. With rebellion in the air, Abe must escape detection by the Governor’s agents and solve the puzzle of Betty’s past in order to secure his future.

Amazing Book

The more I listen to this authors book with this narrator the more I enjoy their books. The author does an amazing job with historical facts combining it with stories that we all love to hear. The narrator is amazing..... his voice is so smooth and very easy to listen to. I swear I could listen to him all day and night. He brings the characters to life and brings you into their lives to live their adventures with them. The combination of these 2, author and narrator, brings us an amazing book. Great book to add to anyone's library especially if you are interested in history.

Exciting historical fiction

This book involves a young boy whose parents die before he becomes of age. He is left in the care of his aunt who is very strict. In an effort to make the most possible money from the sale of timber they take the risk of cutting trees that had been set aside for the King. When corrupt officials decide to make an example of the people involved a series of events begin that will test the boy and those around him. These events were based on historical events prior to the American Revolution and depict the extremes people went to just to survive.

There is also the fact that the young boy meets a girl who has suffered even more than he has. He must learn to grow up into the man he is soon to become in order to survive and provide for a family.

This book was smoothly written and flowed well. It was a pleasure to listen to with the capable narration.

This book was provided free of charge with the expectation of an honest review.

Wonderful Historical Fiction

I have read a few of the books out of this series and have enjoyed them all... this one continues in the Revolutionary War era with another fun and exciting story with a romance entwined in the tale. This story takes place in New Hampshire and tells of the hardships that the wood mills and suppliers had to deal with from the crown. As this deals around the war there is one particularly graphic scene with a mob of people fighting against a few that represented the crown. I mention this to give parents a heads up... it's a very clean, well written story that does a fantastic job of describing the characters, and all around that I could vividly picture it all. I have middle school kids and I would feel completely comfortable letting them listen to this book but will be ready to talk to them about that one scene. War and the events that lead up to it can be ugly but I think it is so important to understand and through books like this get to experience it to get a better grasp of what the Revolution was all about and how many different people it affected.

As for the narration, it was wonderful. Shamaan Casey has a voice that is reminiscent of James Earl Jones with a similar deep richness that is simply a lot of fun to listen to.

And expansive tale set during the Revolution

This is the fifth book I’ve read/listened to by this author and I would listen to anything he writes. I love his style! Each book in his series is a standalone. The main characters could be any person/people collected directly from history. They are your average citizen trying to survive and adapt amongst the political turmoil. As far as historical fiction goes, I think this is the most
realistic and my favorite perspective. Despite being set amongst the American revolution, the story involves issues during this time that are not generally focused upon.

This is the fifth book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( Shamaan Casey ) and At this point I would request any book he reads. I love the tone to his voice and his reading style. He somehow brings the sadness and hardship out in each story.

There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive violence or swearing.
