Young Will Northaway tries to see the difference between thefierce anger of Mackintosh and his followers and the eloquent callsfor independence coming from Sam Adams. Both want to throw offBritish rule; so what's the difference between these men and whatthey want for the American colonies? Will and his master leave Boston to escape the growinglawlessness, but soon trouble spreads to their new home, too.Through all of this, Will's master is becoming a man of faith, andWill tries to decide what he thinks about his master's God.Olasky, Susan is the author of 'Will Northaway and the Fight for Freedom', published 2004 under ISBN 9781581344769 and ISBN 1581344767.
