Description

From New York Times bestselling author Amy Harmon comes the saga of a young woman who dares to chart her own destiny in life and love during the American Revolutionary War. In 1760, Deborah Samson is born to Puritan parents in Plympton, Massachusetts. When her father abandons the family and her mother is unable to support them, Deborah is bound out as an indentured servant. From that moment on, she yearns for a life of liberation and adventure. Twenty years later, as the American colonies begin to buckle in their battle for independence, Deborah, impassioned by the cause, disguises herself as a soldier and enlists in the Continental Army. Her impressive height and lanky build make her transformation a convincing one, and it isn't long before she finds herself confronting the horrors of war head-on. But as Deborah fights for her country's freedom, she must contend with the secret of who she is-and, ultimately, a surprising love she can't deny.

Reviews
"This is a thought-provoking, deeply moving read in which a patriotic woman, forbidden from serving her country due to her sex, defies all odds to do it anyway. Harmon's riveting narrative allows Samson's bravery, both on and off the battlefield, to soar from the pages of long-forgotten history." -Historical Novels Review "This story has completely captured my adventurous heart." -Brenda McDearmon, Texas Over Fifty Travel Blog "A masterpiece. This is a brilliant book." -Christina Shoemaker, author of The Whole Cook "A story of courage, hope and love. It touched all the most sensitive parts of my soul." -Barbara Kloss, author of The God's of Men series "A Girl Called Samson is a history lover's dream. These are the stories that often get overlooked." -Book Adoration Reviews "An incredibly moving story of bravery and love that stretches far beyond the page." -Books Uncharted Reviews

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
