A moving junior novel.... How Sam's fate occurs... is the wrenching part in this story of how the Revolutionary War affects the Meekers, a nonpartisian family of the Tory town of Redding, Connecticut. The story is told through the young Tim Meeker, who guardedly watches the war edge closer and closer until it engulfs his family... A sobering tale that will leave readers with a more mature view of history and war. --Booklist, starred review
