The Battle — Nancy Rue

Change is sweeping through the town of Williamsburg, and Thomas Hutchinson's life is being turned upside down! The war, now approaching a decisive confrontation, continues to take Thomas' loved ones away from him. Now his mentor, Dr. Nicholas Quincy, who does not believe in fighting, feels called by God to save wounded soldiers on the front lines. His friend, Malcolm, is about to turn 16, making him eligible to become a soldier! And even his closest companion, Caroline, is slipping away from him as the victory-bent Patriots forfeit all tolerance of the local British Loyalists. Before this war ends, it's sure to inflict casualties. Can Thomas prevent Malcolm from running off and joining the war? Will his brother, Sam, return alive? Will the Patriots run Caroline and her family out of town for good? Is it safe to trust God no matter how bad things get?
