North to Liberty Paperback

North to Liberty is a sweeping historical novel of the Revolutionary War's northern frontier, following two men forced into the fight long before they are ready for it. One is a Green Mountain Boy-a farmer and devoted family man whose quiet life is upended as British authority and local feuds push Vermont's settlers toward open rebellion. The other is a fourteen-year-old New York militiaman who marches out to defend his settlement and is instead captured, first by Mohawk warriors and then by British forces, learning early that survival can matter more than sentiment.As the war spreads through the Mohawk and Hudson Valleys and north toward Saratoga, both are carried by events they did not choose but cannot escape. The farmer must decide how much of his home he will risk for independence, while the boy endures imprisonment, loss, and the slow, irreversible pull into manhood. Their journeys move in parallel across a contested landscape of forests, rivers, and frontier roads. A place where loyalty is challenged, courage tested, and every decision carries consequences.Driven by action, moral tension, and the relentless forward push of history, North to Liberty brings the Revolutionary War out of legend and into the lives of ordinary people caught in its path. It is a novel of endurance and allegiance, where liberty is not inherited-but earned, at significant cost, through grit and determination in the hard country of the Northern Colonies.
