The Color of Freedom

Fourteen-year-old Meadow McKenzie hates the British. Turned off her
Irish farm and forced to book passage to America as an indentured
servant, Meadow understands why the rebels wish to throw off the yoke of
King George's rule. But is freedom worth the cost?
Then, forced
to flee her master, Meadow disguises herself as a boy and takes up with
a traveling tinker. While winding toward Boston to reunite with her
father, she becomes engulfed in the conflict. She's moved by the
courage, pride and determination of the American patriots, but their
Puritan roots run deep.
Before she can embrace the cause of her
new homeland, Meadow must carefully consider a future amongst Puritan
hatred for her Catholic beliefs. Would liberty apply to Irish, to
Negroes, to Quakers, to Jews, to Catholics? Or would that slogan be cast
aside when majority rule served the majority? Perhaps the colonists had
simply invented a new kind of tyranny.
But war will not wait for Meadow's decision.
