THE HERO... Nathaniel Marten, is a reluctant Patriot. Cries of Revolution have spread across the colonies to his home in Pennsylvania. He is son to a German gunsmith and an English mother. Friend to a soldier and the Shawnee. Toward which of my friends and family would my rifle be pointing exactly?

THE QUEST OF A LIFETIME... In a chance encounter with Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, Nathaniel instead takes on the task of carrying the sole copy of the Declaration of Independence to seven Congressmen-these last signatures will unite the colonies.

THE RISKS... To ride. To sail. To survive. British generals and double-crossing spies are eager to capture both Nathaniel and the document so they can divide the thirteen colonies already weakened by war.

THE REALITIES... Through encounters with well-known original founding fathers and mothers, Nathaniel must learn that independence--for himself, for those he loves, and for the country--is not granted, its chosen. By each and every one of us.

Vividly evokes what it was like to be in the trenches of the Revolutionary War in a way that few-if any-historians have done. - Marc Leepson, author of LAFAYETTE: IDEALIST GENERAL

Allows us to temporarily live and breathe 1776 so deeply that we feel we have been the ones carrying independence for us all. - Kathleen Grissom, author of THE KITCHEN HOUSE

What if one man carried the fate of American independence in his hands?

In this gripping Revolutionary War fiction, Nathaniel Marten becomes the unlikely courier tasked with gathering the final signatures for the Declaration of Independence. Based on the true historical fact that not all delegates signed on August 2nd, Carrying Independence imagines the dangerous mission to complete Americas founding document.

When Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson entrust Nathaniel with the only signed copy of the Declaration, he must traverse hostile colonial territories where British spies and Loyalist sympathizers hunt anyone connected to the rebellion. From the treacherous roads of Pennsylvania to the plantation estates of Virginia, Nathaniel journeys through enemy lines to reach the missing delegates-knowing that capture means death, and failure means the colonies remain forever divided.

This American Revolution novel brings to life the forgotten heroes who risked everything for independence. As Nathaniel faces impossible choices between love, family, and country, readers discover the human cost of creating the founding documents that shaped our nation.
