THAT’S THE QUESTION that burns in Isabel’s brain simply because she and Curzon forge in through chaos and fear toward the desire that’s kept them alive for thus a long time: independence. But her dream of living much less a “runaway” but as a free of charge person with land and a family group of her own seems impossibly a long way away. That wish hinges on a very important factor: obtaining her small sister, Ruth. It has been years since Ruth was stolen from her. Is usually she even alive? And if Isabel can find her, how will they make it properly through the war between your Patriots and the British that rages on as dangerously as ever, while bounty hunters make an effort to kidnap them at every turn?

In the American Revolution, one must pick a side in order to survive. But how will you care about a nation’s independence when the very same nation has kept you in chains?

A heartpounding and riveting story of determination and wish, Ashes may be the highly anticipated bottom line to Laurie Halse Anderson’s award-winning Seed products of America trilogy.
