About this ebook

Children of Liberty, the much-anticipated prequel to Paullina Simons’s The Bronze Horseman, is a story of love and possibility in turn-of-the-century America.

Gina Attaviano travels from Sicily to Boston to start a new life with only the clothes on her back. Harry Barrington is the son of one of New England’s most successful businessmen. Despite their differences and the strong opposition of their families, their attraction is strong. Set against a time of transformation for a growing nation, Gina and Harry must find the courage to do what is right, no matter what the price.

Deeply emotional and satisfying, Children of Liberty features a cast of characters you’ll root for as they fight against their feelings, but discover that true love can never be denied.

Ratings and reviews

Paullina Simons knows how to write a love story, and this one would have been more touching if she had reserved this story for characters not connected with TBH, TA, and TSG. Too many details from those books were thrown to the wayside making the reader unsure if these are even the same characters. Names, people, places, dates - there is a shocking lack of editing. Also, the rush of it all was disconcerting as if Simons wanted to get it over with. Just at the moment I was captivated, it was over!
