Late one dark April night in 1775, a young doctor from Concord leaves the Lexington home of his fiancee and her family; he is unexpectedly drawn into an alarm being spread across the countryside of colonial Massachusetts (and becomes a key participant) warning of an impending invasion by the king's troops from Boston. As the rebellion unfolds, Dr. Samuel Prescott and his family, as well as Lydia Mulliken and her family, face the difficulties of war. Samuel's obligations take him from eastern Massachusetts to Ticonderoga in New York, and from Boston to the coastline of Maine. Meanwhile, Lydia is focused on helping her widowed mother care for and protect two sisters and a younger brother while three other brothers are off fighting with the Continental Army; two of them participate in the stand on Lexington Green and the Battle of Bunker Hill. Both families deal with tragedy and unwavering hope as they endure the struggle for the birth of a nation.Throughout the ordeal, Lydia and Samuel, kept apart by individual and family needs, balance their endless desire to be reunited with the continual sacrifice and hardships of the fight for liberty. The spirit, determination, and resilience of people like those reflected in this story, many who were real people, created a new nation through these pivotal moments and battles of the American Revolution.
