18 Roses Red

“Eighteen roses red,” a wounded Rebel soldier whispers, and with those words thirteen-year-old Anne Elizabeth Brewster is drawn into a daring adventure.

Anne’s family has been torn apart by war. Her father was actively working for the Revolution before his death. Her brothers have gone off to fight. Anne’s uncle, a Loyalist, has refused to let her cousin Faith even visit. And Morgan Jones, the young man of her dreams, is to return to England with his Loyalist family. All she has is her mother and her stitchery. Anne plans to enter her sampler in the town faire in the hopes it will bring credit to her outcast family. And now a Rebel soldier lies near death in her home with an important message for General Washington-one that might well save many lives.
