Cheryl Sawyer skillfully weaves historical fact with fiction. The characters are well developed and there’s a lot of passion. REBEL is a great read and gives a different perspective on the War of Independence.

A woman at war with authority
A man at war with himself
They defy their king to fight for freedom
When the bold and rebellious young Viviane de Chercy reaches Paris in 1776, she joins a band of aristocrats who are plotting to throw themselves into the American War of Independence.
         She stows away on a ship carrying La Fayette and his followers to war-torn Pennsylvania, only to sail headlong into a passionate struggle with her nemesis, the man she fled France to escape—Jules, Comte de Mirandol, who has joined the Virginia Riflemen to fight for the same cause.
         As the battle rages, Viviane overhears a plan that could turn the tide of the war. Armed with only a pistol and her courage, she takes the fate of Philadelphia in her hands.
         Interweaving the birth of a nation with the destiny of two bold idealists, REBEL is a vivid portrait of the first great affair between America and France, and an unforgettable love story.
