"...vivid and authentic detail....Lawson makes all the trials of the American Revolution come alive." - Jodi Daynard, author of The Midwife's Revolt
In 1778, war is men's business. That doesn't stop Anna Stone from getting involved in the fight. As the wife of a preacher-turned-soldier, a healer, and mother of three, Anna knows her place in this world. She tends to things at home while her husband and brothers fight for liberty. But when her loved ones face starvation at Valley Forge, she refuses to sit idly by. Armed with life-sustaining supplies, Anna strikes out alone on horseback over 200 miles of rough and dangerous terrain. Despite perilous setbacks along the way, sheer determination carries her toward her destination. When she learns of a plot to overthrow General Washington, her mission becomes more important than ever. With the fate of the American Revolution in her hands and one of the conspirators hot on her trail, Anna races to deliver a message of warning to Valley Forge before it's too late. Based on events in the life of the author's sixth-great-grandmother.
Описание: In January 1778, Anna Stone is a twenty-nine-year-old healer, wife of a rebellious Baptist-preacher-turned-soldier, and mother of three. Her husband, Benjamin, writes from Valley Forge with worrisome tidings. Annas brothers, Henry and Jeremiah, who are in Benjamins unit, have contracted smallpox. Benjamin downplays the severity of their illness in his letter, which arouses Annas suspicions that he, too, is ill. Not content to remain at home in Virginia, Anna packs food and supplies, leaves her children with family, and strikes out alone on horseback for Pennsylvania. Anna knows that, should Benjamin perish, the county orphans court will appoint a male guardian to oversee her childrens futures—without regard for her preferences. After her experience being raised under the care of a guardian, Anna vows to move heaven and earth to keep her children from suffering the same fate. In her efforts to render the aid that will hold her family together, Anna is swept into a plot that could spell dire consequences for George Washington, the Continental Army, and the new nations quest for liberty. Answering Libertys Call is based on family legend and events in the lives of the authors six times great-grandparents.

Fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Hallmark movies will love this "incredibly compelling" tale of love. (ScreenCraft)
"If you love Historical Fiction with a bit of Romance you NEED to read this book!" --Reagan S., Amazon reviewer Fear made him hide. Hope brought him back. A lot has changed in the world in the many decades since Peter, a Holocaust survivor, settled into his new life in America. But meeting Peter, you'd never know it. The same furniture, the same black-and-white TV, the same rotary phone. Hidden away in the same tiny apartment in the same broken-down New Jersey neighborhood, Peter is just fine with the nothingness of his life. And then the dreams begin of his boyhood sweetheart, Mira, clear as the day he last saw her. Right before she disappeared without a trace from the camp at Theresienstadt Ghetto. It's as if she is beckoning him to come find her. Begging Peter to venture out into a world he has hidden from all these years, to save her from a mysterious, dark force threatening to overtake her. And as his dreams become more real, and Mira's danger more imminent, Peter sets out on a most unusual adventure to save her and to re-engage with a world that has passed him by. An old Chinese proverb states that lovers, destined for each other, remain connected through space and time by a red thread. As Peter is led across the globe in search of Mira, he'll finally confront the mysterious force that is closing in on her. "Readers of Cecelia Ahern and Amy Tan will enjoy this book." --Laren R., Amazon reviewer "Incredibly striking. The emotion within these pages is palpable." --ScreenCraft "[A] a beautifully written, extremely powerful, and heart-rending love story of Holocaust survivor, Peter Ibbetz, and his life of yearning for his childhood sweetheart and the love of his life, Mira Schloss." --Sheila E., Amazon reviewer "A good choice of gift for any Hallmark movie lover!" --Christy H., Amazon reviewer
