A young girl must deliver a secret message to save the Patriots from a British attack.
In war-torn Philadelphia, young Rebecca faces a daunting task. With her father away with Washington's army, she helps her family by selling vegetables to British officers. But when she discovers a secret plan for a British attack, Rebecca must risk everything to warn the Patriots. Can she deliver the message in time to change the course of history?
The American Revolution is raging in Philadelphia, and Rebecca is determined to do all she can to help. With her father stationed with Washington’s army at nearby Whitemarsh, it’s up to Rebecca to help her mother at home with her younger siblings. That includes selling vegetables to British officers stationed in wealthy houses nearby. When Rebecca intercepts a message about an impending British attack against the Patriots from one such house, she knows she has to act. It’s up to her to get the message to the Patriot army - before it’s too late.
