Produktbeschreibung
Even Stories We Think We Know Have Two Sides Susannah Mills is an ordinary young woman of the Massachusetts-Bay Colony, more interested in skipping her school lessons than in the the growing rebellion against King George. But when the rebellion hits home, everything changes. Her quiet life is shattered, and she has to flee to Nova-Scotia with her father. They find what feels like a safe haven in Nova-Scotia, and she is just settling back into some sense of normalcy - but is there any safe place when an empire is at war with itself? The Break is the standalone Nova-Scotia novel in the Tales From a Revolution series, in which each volume explores how the American War of Independence unfolds across a different colony. If you like stories such as Johnny Tremaine, or you've ever wondered how the Revolution looked from the other side of history, you'll love The Break. Read The Break today, and live the upheaval the Revolution meant to those who wanted only to live quietly as a loyal subject of the British Crown-and feel the price paid by America's opponents for its independence.
Autorenporträt
What made the American Colonists turn their back on their King, and fight for independence? How were they different from us-and how were their hopes and fears familiar to our own hearts? These are the sorts of questions that Lars D. H. Hedbor thinks are important to ask in examining the American Revolution, and in the pages of his novels, he suggest some possible answers. His first novel, The Prize, was published in 2011, followed by The Light in 2013, and The Smoke, The Declaration, and The Break in 2014; The Wind was published in 2015, The Darkness in 2016, The Path in 2017, and The Freedman in 2018. The Declaration, The Light, and The Wind were released in audiobook in 2018, and The Freedman in 2019. Hedbor's also written extensively about this era for the Journal of the American Revolution, and has appeared as a featured guest on an Emmy-nominated Discovery Network program, The American Revolution, which premiered nationally on the American Heroes Channel in late 2014. He has also appeared as a series expert on America: Fact vs. Fiction for Discovery Networks, and was a panelist at the Historical Novel Society's 2017 North American Conference. Hedbor is an amateur historian, linguist, brewer, fiddler, astronomer and baker. Professionally, he is a technologist, marketer, writer and father. His love of history drives his to share the excitement of understanding the events of long ago, and how those events touch us still today.
