As the Revolutionary War begins, thirteen-year-old Isabel wages her own fight...for freedom. Promised freedom upon the death of their owner, she and her sister, Ruth, in a cruel twist of fate become the property of a malicious New York City couple, the Locktons, who have no sympathy for the American Revolution and even less for Ruth and Isabel. When Isabel meets Curzon, a slave with ties to the Patriots, he encourages her to spy on her owners, who know details of British plans for invasion. She is reluctant at first, but when the unthinkable happens to Ruth, Isabel realizes her loyalty is available to the bidder who can provide her with freedom.

Bill and Sharon Timmons were heading down the highway to what was supposed to be the greatest moment in their lives, but ran out of gas in the pouring rain just miles from their honeymoon destination. As Bill pulled his car off the side of the road, Sharon was getting nervous and antsy about what they are going to do. Bill kissed his new bride on the cheek and set out in the pouring rain to find help. Just moments later a tow truck pulled alongside Bill's broken down car with his beautiful new bride all alone in the car scared stiff. One of the men got out of the truck named Bubba while his brother Joe stayed in the truck. Bubba came over to the driver's side window and knocked. Sharon rolled down the window and said, "Thank God you're here to help me and my husband get our car fixed." Sharon had no idea these men in the tow truck weren't sent by her husband, but they played along with her, telling her not to worry they would take care of everything.
