The Accidental American

By David Christopher

The Chains of Two Nations

A sweeping tale of survival, sacrifice, and the birth of freedom

Young Colby Callahan's world shatters when his British landlord sells him into slavery to settle his family's debts, ripping him from the emerald hills of 18th-century Ireland and thrusting him into the brutal hands of a Royal Navy captain. But fate has other plans. Through a daring escape and a harrowing journey across the Atlantic, Colby finds refuge in the bustling streets of Boston-a city seething with revolutionary fervor.

Befriended by influential patriots, Colby dreams only of returning to his beloved Ireland. Yet as tensions explode at Lexington and Concord, he finds himself swept into the very heart of the American Revolution, serving under the command of George Washington himself. With each battle, each act of British tyranny he witnesses, Colby's mission becomes clear: having tasted the bitter chains of oppression in two lands, he alone understands what freedom truly costs.

Torn between his longing for home and his growing love for both America and a woman who could change everything, Colby must choose between the life he lost and the nation he's helping to forge. His unique perspective-as both victim of British cruelty and witness to American courage-will shape the very foundations of a new republic.

A gripping historical epic that brings the American Revolution to vivid life through the eyes of a young man who fought not just for independence, but for the right to choose his own destiny.
