Set during America’s revolution, the fictional journal of Nathan Ross is a compelling coming-of-age tale. Nathan fills these pages with anecdotes and illustrations about his family on their farm, in their smithy, and with their companions. A steady stream of war news inspires his sister, Abigail, to challenge the social restrictions of the time, and inflames Nathan’s desire to fight alongside their valiant older brother.
Risks to loved ones and the shock of traitors among friends intensify the family’s emotions until individual choices are made that change their lives forever. This novel is not only for young adult readers, it is for anyone who wants to experience the uncertainties, hardships, and courage that founded a nation.

FRANCES’ BIO
Frances Applequist was born in Newark, New Jersey, and lived
in different towns across the state. As a young mother, she fell in love with
the rich colonial history of the area and haunted historical sites—including
the locations in this novel—with her younger son, Matthew. Her older son, Mark,
throughout his long service with the National Guard, reinforced Frances’s love
for their country and respect for the military. Her husband, Ken, brings
balance into their lives with his support and spirituality.
After careers as college instructors in New Jersey, Frances and her husband
moved to North Carolina to continue teaching. In Raleigh, the author’s brother,
Daniel Bode, the Revolutionary War reenactor and artist who inspired this
story, also guided its research. Nathan Ross and the American
Revolution is the
culmination of the people and events in Frances’s life and she is excited to
share this act of love with you.
