Book Synopsis: “In an era that makes women the powerless property of their husbands, Deborah makes her mark on the sprawling canvas of the War for Independence and the early decades of the new United States: imperiled by the crises of war, by the heartbreak of desire, by the stubborn insistence on being an adult who decides for herself and pays the price. A scrupulously researched novel of the life of Deborah Sampson Gannett, Supreme and Risky Fate tells the thrilling true story of the only woman to disguise herself successfully and fight as a Continental soldier in the American Revolution—but the freedom she's fighting for is her own.”
