Philadelphia, May 1776:

Independence. Liberty. War.

Patsy Black has heard the words over and over again. At Black's Tavern, all anyone can talk about is the Continental Congress. Will they declare independence from the king? Patsy's father refuses to take sides. But Patsy and her friend Barbara have decided to do everything they can for the cause of liberty. Like rescuing Patsy's puppy from the neighbor who stole her, because even a dog deserves its freedom! At first it's just a game. But before long the Daughters of Liberty make some amazing discoveries...and find themselves truly working for American independence!
