Love Thy Neighbor: The Tory Diary of Prudence Emerson by Ann Turner

4.0

Love Thy Neighbor is the first children's book that I've ever read from the perspective of a Tory child. I have read tons of literature about the Revolutionary War, Patriot children, and about the Founding Fathers, but I was so interested to see the other side of the coin. I think we often lose sight of the fact that the Revolutionary War was, in fact, a civil war that pitted neighbor against neighbor, divided families, and made life incredibly difficult for over 1/3 of the inhabitants of the colonies.

This has definitely piqued my curiosity and I will be seeking out more books that discuss this time period from the Tory perspective!
