Elijah Sutton is no fool, despite his love of a country that enslaves people like him. When he's offered land, livestock, and - most importantly - his freedom if he fights in his Patriot owner's stead, Elijah believes he'll soon have everything he ever wanted...and then he meets Kate. The Crown has promised freedom to slaves who escape their Patriot masters and join the British side, and Kate intends to take them up on it. She's eager to leave America - and the painful memories it holds for her - far behind...and then she meets Elijah.

A love overcomes obstacles...
Revisado: 11-01-19
A black woman named Kate meets Elijah, a black man in the uniform of Washington's army, the enemy of the British army. He plans to fight for Mr. Sutton, his master who promises to set him free. He is captured by the Brits as he lingered to assist Kate who is grabbed by a British officer who attempts to rape her. Kate is saved. Through subterfuge she and Elijah are spared by the Brits with a promise that both serve the Brits. Elijah's plan is to escape but he wants her to go with him. I will not spoil the outcome, but the story is very moving. A wonderful word picture is painted of two black people facing threats from all directions in the midst of our war torn young country. Cole's story, more a novella than a full length book, feels so real.
