Thomas was fourteen years old, one of the youngest at Valley Forge. He had to leave his family, his friends, his future behind; he was drafted into the Continental Army. Thomas hated everything about Valley Forge -- the cold so sharply intense that he couldn't even feel it anymore, the blood and cries of wounded soldiers, the never-ceasing feeling of being starved to death. There was only one exception to his resentment towards this nightmare of a camp: Samuel. A wise old man of 64 years, Samuel was the only thing that kept Thomas going. When the time comes to fight at Trenton, will Thomas and Samuel make it out together, alive? A compelling story of tragedy and hardships but also of passion and generosity, this inspirational story will show the meaning of true friendship between an old man and a young boy.
