Revolt! is the finale in a critically acclaimed trilogy set in Boston just prior to the Revolutionary War. Contentious redcoats, extreme food shortages, a epidemic in the city and a family crisis force Deirdre Foster, protected daughter of a wealthy family, to make a decision-flee or stay and help the resistance. As the military increases its search for gunpowder and rebels, and Loyalist spies seem to be everywhere, the noose tightens around the Patriots. Deirdre, her childhood friend David Tremont, and a mysterious acquaintance undertake critical roles in the fight for Boston. This last novel is the most exciting yet.
