When Freedom Comes: Hope's Revolutionary War Diary, Book 3 (My America)

Rating:
Summary: A good conclusion to Hope's story.
Review: Hope Potter is almost eleven years old when she begins her third diary on Christmas Day, 1777. Her older brother Ethan has finally returned home, but their house in Philadelphia is still occupied by British soldiers, and her father is still away fighting for the Patriots. Hope can no longer even see her best friend, Polly, because Polly's parents are Loyalists. Things become even worse when the family learns that Papa is very ill at the American encampment in Valley Forge. Will they be able to do anything to help him?

Kristiana Gregory has written a good conclusion to Hope's story, and readers who enjoyed the first two books will want to read this one as well. Hope's stories are among my favorites from the My America series, because I love this period in history, and the author has done a good job at bringing to life the voice of a young colonial girl.
