About the Book War Comes to Willie Freeman

War Comes to Willy Freeman is a historical novel by James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier that tells the story of a young African-American girl during the Revolutionary War. The protagonist, Willy Freeman, faces a life-altering crisis when her patriot father is killed by the British and her mother disappears. As a free thirteen-year-old black girl in Connecticut, Willy is suddenly caught up in the horror of war and the threat of being returned to slavery.

The novel follows Willy’s harrowing journey as she disguises herself as a boy and embarks on a quest to find her mother, who has been taken prisoner to New York City. Along the way, Willy finds refuge at the famous Fraunces Tavern and experiences the challenges and dangers of a country in turmoil. Despite the adversities, Willy’s resilience and determination drive her forward in her search for freedom and reunion with her mother.

The book is not only a gripping tale of survival and courage but also a poignant exploration of the complexities of freedom, identity, and family during a pivotal moment in American history. It has been praised for its historical accuracy and storytelling, though it has also sparked controversy for its use of racially charged language, which reflects the period it depicts.
