The American Revolution
What does freedom demand of a person?
Freedom’s Cost tells the intimate story of Benjamin Tallmadge, who gave up everything to lead Washington’s spy ring in our American Revolution. Love, trust, and innocence were shattered—yet liberty was born—a profoundly human tale for America’s 250th anniversary, for ages twelve and up.
