Rising Sons: A Novel

Boston, 1765. A young lawyer returns home to find his father dead and the city simmering on the edge of Revolution. The Crown is tightening control. The mob is rising. And every choice he makes pulls him deeper into a conflict he wants to avoid. Thomas Bradford did not come home to be a revolutionary. He came home to bury his father. But Boston has other plans for him. And the men who will one day be called the Sons of Liberty have begun to notice the young lawyer who hasn't yet picked a side. Rising Sons walks you through the rooms where the Revolution was first organized. The taverns where the arguments started, the courtrooms where lawyers tried to hold the rule of law together, the wharves where smuggling was patriotic, and the pulpits where merchants became revolutionaries.
