Spark of the Revolution by Megan Soja is a charming historical fiction that portrays with clarity the events leading up to the Boston Tea Party, the Tea Party itself, and a small portion of the aftermath.
When a grieving Patience and her brother arrive in the American colonies following the death of their mother, they are taken aback by surprising events. As Patience struggles adjusting to her new life, Megan skillfully reveals what it may have been like for one to walk unknowing into the tension and precarious situation in the colonies. Patience strives to become acquainted with and please her long absent father, while seeking the truth of the cause her father vehemently opposes. Her struggle is worsened when her brother wholeheartedly joins the cause and she finds tentative joy and hope in a Patriot blacksmith. Through Patience and Will's viewpoint of their father, I found myself in turmoil. I wanted to be angry with him, but also found myself trying to understand him for sweet Patience's sake.
If you love gentle and sweet romance, strong sibling relationships, and a clear message of faith, forgiveness, and our Heavenly Father's all fulfilling love, this book is for you! Megan Soja laid the groundwork perfectly for the next book, and what I hope will make up the third book as well. She ends Spark of the Revolution beautifully, with foreboding on the horizon, but also with new hope and beginnings for all.
I received a copy of this book from the author. I was in no way required to write a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
