Freedom or Death

Gabriel Harris left his wife during the winter of 1775 to join the Continental forces after witnessing the brutal murder of a friend by the hands of a British officer. A year later, he finds himself preparing for a surprise attack on the Hessian mercenaries in Trenton. While everyone's spirits are low, and the soldiers desire to go home, he not only encourages his tent mates, but unconsciously prepares to give the greatest gift he can give to his wife, his child, his brothers-in-arms, and his country.
