The Girl Who Stole the Hutchinson Letters (English Edition)

After losing her parents and nearly dying herself in a suspicious accident, Sarah Carrington crosses the Atlantic to America on the eve of the American Revolution. She changes her identity, and hopes to put the past behind her and start a new life as a governess for a prominent Connecticut family. But her past follows her across the ocean, and she finds she cannot escape the secret of her involvement in an act that changed the tide of opinion in the American colonies from loyalist apathy to revolt and revolution. If her part in it is discovered, it could lead to her imprisonment or even her execution. Along the way, she connects with the prominent players in America’s beginnings, including Thomas Paine and Benjamin Franklin, finds her first love with Nathan Hale, and discovers her strengths, talents, and commitment to the cause of freedom for all people during this tumultuous time in the history of the world.
