America's Child (Paperback, Illustrated edition)

Set at the time of the Revolutionary War, Kathy Fountain, who began life as a foundling in Albany, New York, became committed to the cause of freedom and is caught up in the intrigue and violence of the times as she grows to womanhood. Forced into a marriage with a duplicitous British landowner, she finds a way of acting as an informer to the rebels. Discovered, she escapes in an ambush, narrowly missing death, and is able to assist with the defense of Fort Stanwick. Throughout, she remains loyal not only to the dream of independence but also to her own dream of marriage to her true love--a colonial soldier who first has scores to settle with the British.
