Home Fronts

By Tom Durwood

Author and teacher Tom Durwood's new installment of richly illustrated historical fiction, The Illustrated Colonials, brings us an unconventional look at the American Revolution. Six wealthy kids from around the globe join the Bostonian cause, finding love and treachery along the path to liberty in three successive novellas of global empirical literature.

BOOK TWO: HOME FRONTS

Our emboldened young Colonials leave their school to face treachery and change in their homelands. They enter the tumultuous landscapes of 1776 ready to fight for their beliefs. Little do they know how high the cost will be.

The Colonials return home with a passion to elevate their people, and to further the global cause of freedom. One by one, they find opportunities to do exactly that, but not without repercussion. Back in China, Jiayi Mei Ying is sent into the hills of Jinan by her family as punishment for her rebellious attitude. She is determined to spread the message of Bostonians like Thomas Paine.
