Gayle C. Krause has just had her MG Historical Fiction novel published.
With the spark
of independence crackling in Colonial Philadelphia, three girls dress as boys
and head to the river to put a perilous plan into action, but only two return.
The third, a milliner’s assistant, is found drowned, with gold in her hems,
coded spy letters in her bodice, and a journal implicating another sewing
apprentice in the treacherous plot.
All eyes turn
toward Perdy Rogers, Betsy Ross’ thirteen-year-old apprentice, but she’s no spy! With her life on the line, she struggles to untangle herself from the web
of deceit and learns the hard way that freedom, whether an individual’s or a
country’s, comes at a cost.
Book is available on Amazon.com.
