So far Hope's Crossing has been really good. It's a sad story but it’s still good. She is kidnapped by a British soldier and her house is burnt down and her dogs are shot. She is put to work by that British soldier's wife and at first she has known way out. Hope is afraid of heights! She has to sleep in a creepy attic. This is several stairs high! Hope thinks her world is terrible until she meets Mother Thomas. Mother Thomas is a loyalist but still doesn't think its right for hope to get kidnapped. So she and hope sneak out. They go to Mother Thomas's friend’s house Pruitt Jones. But they have to lie to him because hope is a rebel and Pruitt HATES rebels. So they make up this huge lie and say that hope is the wife’s niece and they are going to see cousins in New York. They go and stay at Mrs.Doyles house. But all well doesn’t go! Mother Thomas gets the chicken pox and back then there was not a cure so it was deadly! They have to go and stay at a sick home. But one day Hope snuck out and she apparently met Pruitt Jones. He was following her and Mother Thomas all along. She jumped out the window to make it there my sunup! Can't wait till read more tomorrow! :)
