America’s first female soldier, Deborah Sampson tells the story of America’s birth. She was the descendant of those who sailed the Mayflower, Myles Standish and William Bradford. Growing up in a destitute family in Plympton, Massachusetts, Deborah was inspired by her maternal grandmother, Bathsheba Bradford, abandoned by her father, neglected by her morose mother, separated from her starving siblings, and finally sold into indentured servitude. Her rise from her disastrous childhood, her decision to masquerade as a man, her fervor to fight for her liberty, is the story of America.

On July 4, 1990, while on a morning walk in southern France, Susan J. Brison was attacked from behind, severely beaten, sexually assaulted, strangled to unconsciousness, and left for dead.
