Liberty’s Promise
By Heidi Sprouse
Genre: Historical/Revolutionary War/Time Travel
Benjamin Willson and Charlotte Elizabeth Ross fall in
love with one another amid the American Revolution, forming a bond that cannot
be shattered by death—or time.
The Battle of Johnstown tears them apart with one vicious,
indifferent musket ball, but the two souls will find their way back to one
another over two hundred and thirty-three years later as Ben Wilson and
Charlotte Elizabeth Ross the Second.
As the two reunited lovers share memories of their lives so
long ago, they unearth a journal that belonged to the son they created just
before Benjamin fell. Expecting to learn his story in the pages of his book,
they are unprepared to learn that it is a tribute to his stepfather, Jacob
Cooper.
Jacob had loved Charlotte since childhood, but the first
time he saw her with Benjamin he knew any dream he’d ever had of claiming her
for his own was hopeless. Worse, Jacob genuinely liked and respected Benjamin
so he accepted his fate, although still tormented to see the two of them
together.
But when Benjamin’s life drained away on a cold and lonely
battlefield, Jacob stepped in to help Charlotte pick up the pieces of her
shattered soul. He knew Charlotte would never love him as she loved Benjamin,
yet he married her, took on the role of father to Benjamin’s son, and raised
the boy to understand the precious gift of his heritage—and freedom.
Ben and Charlotte become lost in the words of their son from
the past as they learn about the torch that Jacob Cooper carried for his only
love, and what it means to keep Liberty’s Promise.
About the Author
Heidi Sprouse lives in upstate NY in historic Johnstown. She
attended college at St. Rose in Albany, knowing all along her two loves were teaching
and English. It took four years before she landed the teaching job of her
dreams, but twenty years later she is still nurturing little ones in pre-K. She
loves the privilege of watching brand-new little humans as they discover and
begin to shape their own worlds.
Knowing what she wants and going after it in relentless
pursuit is Heidi’s gift. Deciding to become an author can be downright
unnerving, but Heidi bit into the challenge, took off, and never looked back.
Her perseverance proves success is not a matter of luck; it’s a matter of

makes a difference.
When she isn’t busy teaching or with her husband, Jim, her
son, Patrick, and her canine kids Chuck and Dale, she’s cooking up her next
novel. She dabbles in sweet romances, historical fiction, and suspense
thrillers, depending on what pleases her reader’s eye at any given moment.
Heidi is always in search of the extraordinary in the ordinary, writing about
strong men with old-fashioned values and the women who pick them up when they
fall. She’ll tell anyone it's never too late to chase after your dreams, no
dream is too small or insignificant, and any mountain can be moved with a
proposal and a good plan.
