Sarah Bishop isn't a Tory. She isn't a Patriot. Sarah Bishop is a fifteen-year-old girl.

The Revolutionary War has come to her village, and the Patriots have made her an orphan without a home. Now the British army is after her for a crime she didn't commit.

Running for her life, Sarah finds a cave in the woods. Alone, she makes her home there. The wild animals, the terrible hardships are not as bad as what she has left behind. Sarah Bishop vows never to trust anyone again.

The war will end. Peace will come. But will peace ever find Sarah Bishop?
