Sparks of Freedom

Sparks of Freedom is written in honor of America's semi quincentennial, the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which after eight years of Revolution led to the founding of a new nation. It's a comprehensive historical fiction that takes the reader from the time of the Boston Tea Party through the historical events which led to the signing of the Declaration of Indpendence. A must read for history lovers and those who love a well-researched 18th century novel.

Treason is brewing. Leaders Samuel Adams, John Hancock, Paul Revere, and John Adams along with members of Boston's Sons of Liberty form an alliance believing strongly in their rights and ideals of liberty. What happens when three tea ships carrying East India Tea consigned by the king of England to be taxed and sold in the colonies land in Boston Harbor?

As the wealthiest man in Boston, John Hancock can choose to support the king or lose everything including his life. But who will lay down their life for freedom against tyranny? Will the Sons of Liberty bring Revolution to all 13 colonies? Will an inexperienced group of colonists and farmers form a militia strong enough to go up against the greatest army in the world?
