Susan Creek (Paperback)

Douglas Wilson continues the saga of the Monroe family with an adventure set in the days of the First Great Awakening, twenty-nine years before the American War for Independence. Seventeen-year-old John Monroe is an apprenticed seaman on a merchant ship bound for Annapolis from Glasgow when he falls into an adventure involving an unscrupulous British officer, French and English spies and a young lady with a secret. When John offers to escort Jenny to America, he knows she is bearing mysterious documents, but how can he begin to suspect the dangers his act of mercy will bring to him and his family? What happens at Susan Creek is crucial not only to John himself, but to the very survival of the colonies themselves.
