Hope's Crossing — Joan Elizabeth Goodman

British prisoner!

When her father left Fairfield, Connecticut, to join General Washington's army, Hope found it easy to promise that she would be brave. That was before a raiding party of Tories plundered her home, set it afire, and took Hope captive. Soon she was a servant for Noah Thomas and his ill-tempered wife, with no means of escape -- that is, until she got to know Mother Thomas, who wanted to leave as much as she did. Can an elderly woman help a young girl find her way home?
