International Writers Inspiring Change featured book: The Sentinel's Daughter by Maria Dampman

Updated: Sep 24

Daughters of the New American Revolution (Book 3)






The Mennonites of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, have a secret.


It’s one more unlawful than their clandestine trips delivering food to the rebels of Philadelphia. It’s more dangerous than the way they practice their Faith when the Purity Patrols aren’t in town, and it’s far more verboten than sheltering Emma and Declan Byrne within their tight-knit community.


It is, however, one that will prove deadly when the truth comes out,

and if we know nothing else by now, it’s that the truth always comes out.


Emma and Declan have also kept secrets, not just from those closest to them, but from each other. After a series of missteps culminates in a maelstrom that threatens their lives and everything they’ve been working towards, the very toughest of choices must be made.


Which is more important - the future of their fledgling family, or the fate of an entire nation?


***The Sentinel's Daughter is the third novel in the highly acclaimed Daughters of the New American Revolution series. For the best possible reading experience, these books should be read in order, beginning with The Governor's Daughter. Perfect for fans of The Handmaid's Tale, The Hunger Games, and Red Rising, this action-packed series is a sublime mix of dystopian/speculative fiction, political thriller, and tragic love story.***
