H. Tales From a Revolution [Bridges eBook] : The Complete Collection. Brief Candle Press, 2021. Format: OverDrive Adobe EPUB eBook, Filesize: 18MB. Format: OverDrive OverDrive Read. HTML:A farmer, or a soldier. A schoolgirl or a sailor. Blacksmith or slave, Spanish or Haudenosaunee, young or old, the outbreak of the American Revolution changed all their lives. Many of them found their way into positions to change the shape of history, only to be forgotten by its chroniclers. All had a role in bringing our nation into being, and all deserve to have their stories told. In each of the fourteen standalone novels of the Tales From a Revolution series, here collected for the first time in a single omnibus, we get to visit a different colony or future state, and get a glimpse of what life was like for ordinary people swept up into an extraordinary time. The Prize: Vermont Caleb yearns to help his father in the war, instead of taking his place at the family farm. A chance encounter with a neighbor whose past haunts him will turn everything upside-down, and give Caleb everything he hopes for. The Light: New-Jersey Caught between his Quaker faith and the menace of British forces, Robert must find a way to keep his family safe while honoring the command to turn the other cheek.

The Break: Nova-Scotia Ripped away from her home and friends when her Loyalist father must evacuate to faraway Halifax, Susannah wishes for the restoration of her old life.

The Wind: West-Florida When the Spanish call upon him to help in the contest for American independence, Gabriel rises to his duty. Nature's ferocious interference throws him into the midst of a smaller battle, though, and it will cost him his heart. The Darkness: Maine George knows little of science and would rather shirk his chores and dodge British occupiers in town than study it. When ominous phenomena overtake his little community, though, he finds himself in up to his neck in both deadly intrigues and an expedition of discovery. The Path: Rhode-Island Serving King Louis and his ma, Yves never expected to be sent across the ocean to fight the British on a distant shore. He expected even less to discover that the liberty for which he was supposed to fight would not be shared with all Americans. The Freedman: North Carolina Abruptly released from slavery, Calabar quickly learns that the fight against British tyranny would not lead to any sort of true liberty for himself. When his family is threatened, though, he must chose whether to fight to free a country that might never truly free him. The Tree: New-Hampshire Suddenly finding himself an orphan, Abe must quickly assume the responsibilities of adulthood.
