In 1775, three young indentured servants cross the Atlantic into a land bracing for revolution. They find brief sanctuary along the Hudson River, as new loyalties form amid forbidden love and the first sparks of war. But after a death at sea follows them ashore, accusations shatter their peace, forcing them to make impossible choices between survival and truth. As the revolution spreads, quiet acts of courage and a love that defies the rules of the age offer them a chance at redemption.
But at what price?A richly atmospheric, suspenseful adventure set in the American Civil Revolutionary War, Constance Emmett's BOUND is a story of love lived in the shadows, and the cost of claiming one's own life when the surrounding world denies it."Wistfully haunting tale of a love lived in the shadows. Thoroughly recommended" - Katherine Mezzacappa, author of the award-winning The Maiden of Florence
