    <body><![CDATA[This was a fun story, but really, it could have easily had 100 or so pages taken out and been better for it--especially at the end! But it was quick reading and a fun plot--though it definitely was written in the 50's! It's set during the American Revolution and it's a very &quot;clean&quot; story.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I just really enjoy this author. She gives a good perspective on the life and times of the era, and I like the idependence and verve of her heroines. It's an easy read and I just may put the civil war on hold for a while and start reading about the American Revolution...]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My mom gave me this book when I was a kid and I absolutely loved it.  Every now and then I go back and reread it just to enjoy the descriptions of Charleston and South Carolina during the Revolutionary war.  The little details you find in this book are wonderful.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I liked this book. This author wrote in the '50s, but she writes historical fiction in the same style as &quot;These Is My Words&quot; (Nancy Turner, I believe) and Sandra Dallas. This one is about the Revolutionary War, she wrote a handful of other books about other time periods. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was hard for me to rate.  It was very &quot;G&quot; rated, which isn't bad, but I kept waiting for something more &quot;realistic&quot; to happen.  It did, thank goodness and I found myself really enjoying the last third of the book.  I learned a lot about the revolutionary war that I didn...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62373858">more...</a>]]></body>
