A NEW NOVEL, A TRUE LOVE STORY SET IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR 
 

LOVE – FAITH – LIBERTY! That’s why patriots sacrificed everything to fight America’s Revolutionary War. Two of those patriots were Samuel Benjamin and Tabitha Livermore. They had to pick a side based on their love of each other, their faith in God, their families, and the liberty they could only dream about. They were just like you and me. As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our great nation, we must understand, that the patriots declared their independence in 1776. But they weren’t truly free of the tyranny of the British Crown and its’ redcoats until September of 1783. Samuel and Tabitha, their communities, were on the frontlines of the sacrifice for liberty. Samuel and Tabitha aren’t the famous names many of us know from American history. But it was tens of thousands of people like Samuel and Tabitha who fought and won the Revolutionary War. Samuel picked up a musket, a bayonet, and wielded a sword as a man of faith. He wrote more than four-dozen bible verses in the back of one of his war diaries. He was in the Corps of Light Infantry which historian Michael Sheehan calls “the Navy Seals of the day.” I am eternally thankful to Lt. Benjamin as well as his sweetheart, my grandmother, Tabitha Livermore, and to their fellow compatriots and families including Samuel’s younger brothers, Jonathan and John, who also served as soldiers. They represent the sacrifice made by tens of thousands of common people for the ideal of liberty – freedom from the rule of a King. 25,000 souls made the ultimate sacrifice. This is the true story of a man and woman's love, faith, and fight for liberty.
