Will Northaway and the Quest for Liberty

Everyone calls Will Northaway "Fish," probably because he hangs
around the wharves hunting for fish scraps. To round out his diet
he steals from street vendors in his Southwark neighborhood in
London. People there feel sorry for the boy since he's all alone,
and they are willing to put up with his thievery. But then he is
caught and falsely accused of a crime. Narrowly escaping prison,
Will flees to America where he hopes to find his long-lost
father.

After a dangerous sea journey, Will begins a new life in Boston
as a printer's apprentice. He finds a home, but times are hard in
Boston. While men like Sam Adams and Paul Revere debate politics,
freedom, and liberty, men like Ebenezer Mackintosh fan the flames
of agitation and lawlessness. Will's search for his father takes
him into the heart of a violent mob, and he has to face the
consequences-and his own resistance to God's grace.
