Amanda's Secret: a Colonial Girl's Story Jami Borek

Twelve-year-old Amanda seems to have everything any girl could ask for - a nice plantation home just outside of Williamsburg, Virginia, loving parents, even a brand-new grown-up ball gown for the upcoming Twelfth Night ball. It's like a dream - and like a dream, she will all too soon awaken. Little does she know, the ball will be the last night of life as she's known it - how drastically things will change! There are secrets in Amanda's past that were hidden from her all along and nothing is what she thought it was. "Just you wait," the spiteful servant Jane predicts gleefully, "this is only the beginning. Next they'll be coming for you, to take you away." Amanda isn't one to sit passive in the face of disaster, though. She resolves to find the truth and to change her fate. Set in colonial Virginia in 1772, Amanda's Secret is the heartwarming story of a young colonial girl who confronts misfortune with resourcefulness, determination, and courage, and her quest to make everything right.
