It's 1754, a few months before young George Washington will lose his first battle at Grand Meadows, setting off the war that came to be known as the French and Indian War.

And in Edinburgh, Callie Beaton storms out of her grandfather's house to the docks, where she is snatched by traders, locked in a ship to be transported to the American colonies, and sold as an indentured servant.
Some mistakes have consequences that are beyond what anyone could imagine.
'...Callie is likable, if rather too trusting of men, while love interest Davy has a complicated history of his own. ... an engaging story with some clever plot twists.' --Kirkus Indie
