Sophia's Journey - Paperback

by Joyce Rickards Newcomb (Author)

Readers will instantly love-and come to respect-fifteen-year-old Sophia Records as she confronts the challenges of keeping secrets for both the living and the dead, making decisions requiring wisdom beyond her years, and finding her way in a world that's not quite ready for her. Set in the year leading up to the War of 1812, Sophia's Journey is a captivating exploration of the complex issues of early nineteenth-century America, based on extensive historical research and told through the eyes of this sweet, sensitive, whip-smart young woman. Sophia is delightfully innocent, devilishly clever, and ultimately heroic.
