Washington's Wild Rose

By C D Gerard

Sarah Carrington's story continues as the war for American Independence enters its second year. Living in New York City where she continues her work as a governess, she waits for her great love, Captain Nathan Hale, as he fights for the cause. When she and Hale end their relationship, she agrees to resume spying for the American cause, and is recruited by General George Washington. While she is a reluctant spy at times, she ultimately brings Washington vital information about the coming battles in New York. When things go horribly wrong in the Battle of Brooklyn, Sarah tries to get word to Washington, nearly losing her own life in the process. She is rescued from the fighting, and is put on a boat crossing Long Island Sound. It is here she meets with Nathan Hale again as he goes to Long Island on his ill-fated spy mission. While Sarah tries to save Nathan from his careless and open demeanor, they are pursued by the mercenary Robert Rogers, whose revenge against them knows no boundaries. While Sarah bravely faces the death of Hale, and the possibility of her own demise, she finds a true love that will sustain her, and the value of her compassionate and caring friends who will do anything to save her life and keep her from being sent back to England to face the gallows for her crimes against the British. Washington's Wild Rose highlights the trials and joys of a young woman who is not only indicative of her own time, but one who is also ahead of time as she, and so many others like her, dreamed of a better future in a new country.
