Rebellion 1776Rebellion 1776

Set in 1776, thirteen-year-old Elsbeth struggles to find her missing father amidst the smallpox epidemic sweeping across Boston during the revolution.
"In March 1776, Elsbeth Culpepper finally had hope. Hope that the Patriots would beat the British Army and free Boston. Hope that she could quit working as a kitchen maid and start apprenticing with a seamstress. Hope that she and Pappa would live together under the same roof again, something they hadn't done since Momma...and her brothers and baby sister...Well, it's too sad to say. But the flames of war quickly turn all her hopes to ash. The British and Loyalists prepare to flee, plunging Boston into chaos. As Elsbeth searches for her missing father, she stumbles across a stranger dying of smallpox. An epidemic rages in tandem with the American Revolution. Suddenly, her dreams of the future are reduced to one simple wish: survival." -- Book jacket
