Time Period: 1770 Twelve-year-old Bostonian Lydia
Lankford knows in her heart of hearts that the patriot cause is
true and just-so why can’t other members of her family see that,
too? When the Boston Massacre occurs, this fictional colonist finds
herself witnessing a spark that helps to ignite the American
Revolution. Especially for girls ages eight to twelve, the
fascinating story of Lydia Lankford shares the coming-of-age
experiences of an impetuous girl on the verge of young womanhood,
while teaching important lessons of Christian faith and American
history. “Lydia the Patriot” makes a great recreational read, and
is perfect for homeschooling.
