Designing America

by Jeannette Dilouie

Abigail Carpenter might have survived the battles of Trenton and Princeton in 1776 and 1777, but the war is far from over in 1781. Living in Virginia now, she finds herself crossing paths with her nation's most formidable and hated foe, who unwittingly takes her under his protection. Determined to protect herself and her family, Abigail dons the role of a Tory, loyal to King George. The stakes are just as high as at Princeton, but the danger is even greater.

About the author

Jeannette DiLouie is a lifelong bookworm who has been writing stories - albeit not always very well - since she was six years old. She completed her first full-length novel at age 18 and had another six finished by the time she turned 30. Along with her professional career, she runs Innovative Editing, which offers feedback, guidance and other resources for creative and professional writers alike.

Jeannette lives in Lancaster, PA, and has homes away from home in Baltimore, MD; Manville, NJ; and Boston, MA; where she spends many a weekend with her amazing family and best friends. Without them and soft-baked chocolate chip cookies, she'd most definitely go (more) insane.

Reviews

[Deb · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book puts Abigail, Elizabeth and the kids in the middle of the Seige of Yorktown. Another really good historical offering from Jeannette DiLouie. How will these 4 people survive in this British towns, with their loved ones just outside in the American Army? Will Abigail be able to spy on the British? Looking forward to any other Historical Novels this author writes.
