Their rivalry had spanned three decades and reached its peak when Jacob practically stole the attractive Mercy Reed for his wife while Esau, her fiance, was away studying in England. Now Jared and Anne Morgan are forced to watch as their sons take opposing stands in the struggle for American liberty. Will the war for independence tear the Morgans apart? And if they survive, will the Morgan family faith continue in America, or will they return to England where it all started? Follow the Morgan family as they are tossed about by the tides of conflict--from the battlefields of Lexington and Concord to the deadly winter encampment at Valley Forge to the seats of colonial power in Boston, Philadelphia, and New York--as their lives cross paths with influential men and women who changed the course of history.
