"An unusual story of the American Revolution. The heroine, the young daughter of a British officer, arrives in Boston to find the rebels in control. A virtual prisoner, she finds lodgment with a Quaker family and later makes her escape and joins her father on Staten Island. Several points of view, the loyalist, the American, and the Quaker, are clearly brought out, and, in addition, the story is absorbing in itself." -Wisconsin Library Bulletin
