NOTES
"Deborah Sampson longs to break free. To be much more than a girl is allowed to be. Caught up in her country's fight for independence, 18-year-old Deborah declares her own independence. She soon enlists in George Washington's Continental Army, signing on as Robert Shurtliff. A young lady can't battle the British--a man can! But being a soldier is hard, dangerous work. Can she keep her identity a secret? Can she prove herself in combat? Will she win her battle to choose her own path? Find out in this inspirational story of a true American rebel"--Front jacket flap
