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

A review from my old blog...
I keep gaining a new sense of satisfaction when I open a new Dear America book.
This book is written from the perspective a young girl growing up in a Tory family during the height of the anti-British fervor. I've never thought about what that perspective would be. I've always grown up thinking that the Patriots were right and the Tories were just sticks in the mud.
The more I read out of Pru's journal, the more I realized that my family, had we been in America at that time, would probably have been a Tory family. As Christians we probably would have supported the government that we had and tried to work within it had there been an issue rather than rebel against it (which is what the American Revolution was).
Once again I was not disappointed with this series and can't wait to start adding the series to my own personal collection.
