"A Swift and Sudden Spring",A new release from best-selling author Murray Pura!

Rose and Ethan have come to visit their children and grandchildren in Boston and, at first, all seems normal, despite the hostile gossip against the British and King George III. But one night in April, a stranger rides up to the door of their house and talks Ethan, and Rose's sons Peter and Reuben, into helping him spread the alarm that British soldiers are on the march. Rose's men vanish into the night and, by the next day, have not returned. Instead, angry soldiers are breaking down the door, bayonets fixed. Rose has always been Amish, and the Amish have always been for peace, but what is she and her family to do when Massachusetts is erupting in violence and bloodshed, and when that violence is threatening her own household?
