Book Info
 About the book: An unlikely spy discovers freedom and love in the midst of the American Revolution.

As the British and Continental armies wage war in 1781, the daughter of a wealthy Virginia plantation owner feels conflict raging in her own heart. Lydia Caswell comes from a family of staunch Loyalists, but she cares only about peace. Her friend Sarah Hammond, however, longs to join the fight. Both women's families have already been divided by a costly war that sets father against son and neighbor against neighbor; a war that makes it impossible to guess who can be trusted.

One snowy night Lydia discovers a wounded man on the riverbank near Caswell Hall, and her decision to save him will change her life. Nathan introduces her to a secret network of spies, couriers, disguises, and coded messages---a network that may be the Patriots' only hope for winning the war. When British officers take over Caswell Hall and wreak havoc on neighboring plantations, Lydia will have to choose between loyalty and freedom; between her family's protection and her own heart's desires.

As both armies gather near Williamsburg for a pivotal battle, both Lydia and Sarah must decide how high a price they are willing to pay to help the men they love.

Part of the American Tapestries™ series: Each standalone novel in this line sets a heart-stirring love story against the backdrop of an epic moment in American history. This is the fifth book in the series.

My Review:

Melanie Dobson's historical romance novel, "The Courier of Caswell Hall," is An American Tapestry and will transport the reader back in time and into the lives of the characters. Lydia and Sarah are living in the midst of war in 1781 and they find themselves caught in the middle of remaining loyal to their families and trying to find themselves.  This story is timeless and it is easy to empathize with the characters and become lost in their lives and dilemmas.  Melanie writes with such vivid details that the time period comes alive and history becomes real.  I really enjoyed this story and highly recommend it to anyone whom enjoys historical fiction filled with historical details.
