The Scottish Highlands in the eighteenth century have little to offer Rachel Calhoun and her brother. Their abusive father and grinding poverty make them long for another life. Idealistic young doctor Drew Wolfe befriends and tries to protect Rachel, and when he emigrates to Philadelphia, the Calhouns gladly accompany him. In their new country, Drew and Rachel marry, and as his helper, Rachel discovers a talent for medicine. She learns all that Drew can teach her. And then the Revolutionary War breaks out . . .
This book puts you in the Revolutionary War in a personal way, making you FEEL what the characters feel. It is extraordinarily appealing to the senses, exploring taste, touch, smell, hearing and sight. The ending is worthy of a Bruce Willis movie!!! A must read if you have any interest in the history of this country or of a personal journey toward peace.
