THE REVOLUTION IS COMING. JANE MUST CHOOSE WHERE HER LOYALTY LIES.
America is on the brink of revolution.
Jane Witlaw has travelled far from her home in Cornwall and now finds herself caught in the growing conflict between Britain and the American colonies.
But the struggle for freedom is not fought only by men.
Through Abigail Adams, Jane is introduced to the secret world of the Daughters of Liberty—women gathering information, taking risks and playing their own part in the fight for America's future.
For Jane, the danger is becoming increasingly personal.
Mathew Appleton, the man she loves, is surrounded by secrets and divided loyalties. His connections with the British authorities raise questions Jane cannot easily answer, while a dangerous figure from his past threatens them both.
Then Jane disappears.
Mathew begins a desperate search to find the woman he loves, while Jane struggles to survive far from everything she knows.
As Boston moves closer to open rebellion, friendships become uncertain, loyalties are tested and the consequences of betrayal become increasingly dangerous.
Against this turbulent historical background, Jane must find her own courage—and discover where she truly belongs.
THE ROAD TO REVOLUTION — BOOK DAUGHTERS OF LIBERTY continues the story of Jane and Mathew in a dramatic historical tale of love, revolution, courage, secrecy and divided loyalties.
First published asWhisperings of Betrayal, this novel is now presented in two parts under its new title, THE ROAD TO REVOLUTION.
The Daughters of Liberty changed the way I looked at Jane's story. Until this point, her struggle has largely been about surviving what happens to her. Now she is being pulled into something much bigger. Seeing women quietly gather information and take real risks while Boston moves toward rebellion gave the story a completely different energy. Jane isn't standing outside history anymore—she is becoming part of it.
I kept wondering where Mathew would look next. Jane disappears, and suddenly the man surrounded by secrets is the one desperately searching for answers. Meanwhile, Jane is somewhere else trying to survive without him. That reversal worked beautifully for me because neither character has the full picture. Love is still there, but now it has to compete with suspicion, divided loyalties, and real danger.
This book made the word loyalty feel much heavier. Britain and the colonies are moving toward open conflict, but the characters themselves aren't neatly divided into heroes and villains. Jane has her own choices to make, Mathew has secrets that complicate everything, and the Daughters of Liberty show that the revolution is being fought in ways that aren't always visible. I finished this one wanting to know not just what happens next—but which side Jane will ultimately choose.
