Hope's Crossing

(4) 4-6 A lively tale, this is the story of Hope Wakeman, daughter of a prosperous officer in General Washington's army, who is kidnapped by Tory raiders from her Connecticut home. Taken by the nefarious Mr. Thomas to be a lowly servant, she manages to escape to New York City with the help of Thomas's mother. Although all the loose ends are tied up rather neatly in the end and the characters lack real depth, readers will enjoy Hope's spunk and adventures.
