Jenny L. Cote & Libby McNamee

 

Libby McNamee, author of Susanna’s Midnight Ride about Susanna Bolling

 Almost five years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution hung in the balance.  In late May 1781, General Cornwallis invaded City Point, VA and quartered his army there. As 16-year-old Susanna Bolling served the British general and his officers dinner, she overheard their plans to capture General Lafayette and crush the American rebellion once and for all.  Under the cover of darkness, she snuck out of her house through a secret underground tunnel and canoed downriver. Then she grabbed a neighbor's horse and rode ten miles to warn Lafayette.  But would she make it back home by sunrise without detection?  

 

Jenny L. Cote, author of The Voice, the Revolution, and the Key and the fantasy-fiction series Epic Order of the Seven.

The Voice, the Revolution, and the Key (2017), book one of The Epic Revolutionary Saga, covers events from the year 1743 up through the eve of the Revolution in March 1775. Jenny wrote the last chapter sitting inside St. John’s Church, the location of Patrick Henry’s ‘Give me liberty, or give me death!’ speech.
