No Small Thing: A Novel of the American Revolution

By: Coyle, Harold

History is written in blood, and lived in heartache, fate, and fire.

Seize bestselling author Harold Coyle's latest masterpiece of historical fiction: a multi-perspective account of the American Revolution that wheels all the way from the slopes of Breeds Hill to a desperate gamble across the frozen Delaware River on Christmas Day, 1776. Rebellion demands sacrifice. Identity requires dedication. See the limits of loyalty and miracles of heart that shaped America, and fall vividly right into the truth and smoke of battle in the way only Harold Coyle can write.

Fifteen-year-old Anthony Carter yearns for glory but finds brutal realities. Edward Shields defies his loyalist father and pragmatic mother to forge a new path. Lady Katherine Trent walks a dangerous line between fidelity and liberty in British-occupied New York, knowing her dreams reach beyond convention. And French officer Anton de Chevalier, sent to observe, finds himself drawn into a fight that will change both the world and his own fate. Here, early America comes to life through the eyes of young militiamen, seasoned veterans, daring women, conflicted loyalists, and more - all swept into the storm of rebellion and war.

Our world is made by those who dare. And for them, it is no small thing.

Customer Reviews

A wonderful historical fiction story told from both sides of the conflict.

A wonderful historical fiction story is told from both sides of the conflict. The writing gives you an awareness of what the people went through to realize their freedom. Telling the story from both the English and American perspectives, as well as those of soldiers and civilians, made it so much more interesting. The story, the characters, and the pace were all outstanding. The only drawback was how the book ended. Nothing was wrapped up. So, Mr. Coyle, we need another book, and we need it quickly. I am invested in these characters and need to know if they make it through to the end of the war. Are there any happy endings for any of these characters? Thank you to librarything.com and Harold Coyle & Master Wings Publishing for a copy of this book.
