Lydia the Patriot

Time Period: 1770 Twelve-year-old Bostonian Lydia Lankford knows in her heart of hearts that the patriot cause is true and just-so why can't other members of her family see that, too? When the Boston Massacre occurs, this fictional colonist finds herself witnessing a spark that helps to ignite the American Revolution. Especially for girls ages eight to twelve, the fascinating story of Lydia Lankford shares the coming-of-age experiences of an impetuous girl on the verge of young womanhood, while teaching important lessons of Christian faith and American history. "Lydia the Patriot" makes a great recreational read, and is perfect for homeschooling.
