Twelve-year-old Lydia Lankford lives in a Boston that's occupied by more than four thousand British soldiers. Like many in eighteenth-century America, she wants to live free of English interference and she taunts the soldiers whenever she can. Lydia's brother, Stephen, worries that she may go too far. When a mob of colonists surrounds a small squad of British soldiers, shots ring out—and five Americans die. The shootings inflame Lydia's patriotic fervor, and bring her into conflict with some of the more conservative members of her family. Will her impetuous behavior separate her from the ones she loves—or even put them in danger? What would God want her to do? 

A historical novel by Susan Martins Miller, Lydia the Patriot, is recommended for children ages eight to twelve. Let this book from the Sisters in Time series take your child back to 1770—where she many find that Lydia Lankford isn't really that much different than herself!

"I have just completed my order with AOP for our homeschooling materials for the next school year. For the first time in the two years I have been homeschooling our three boys, I feel a complete peace and excitement for the school year to come. As many homeschoolers do, I have researched and tried many of the homeschooling products available. Indeed, the choices are endless. However, I have finally found a curriculum with AOP that fits our family's values, goals, learning styles, and lifestyle. Thank you for offering quality products at such an affordable price. We look forward to many years of learning with AOP and the blessings that are sure to come. God bless you all at AOP!"

I am now homeschooling four children. It is so nice to know that AOP is there with so many great products to make my life easier as a homeschooler! Thanks AOP!"
