Book excerpt: A young English Lady discovers love, independence, and the true meaning of home in this YA historical romance set during the Revolutionary War. South Carolina, 1776. The orphaned daughter of an English earl, fourteen-year-old Lady Jane Prentice has just arrived in Charlestown to find herself in the middle of heated conflicts both personal and political. While war rages between her former country and her new home, another is being waged between the members of her own family, whose loyalties are strongly divided in America's fight for freedom. Torn by family feuds, the war, a secret romance, and her own growing need to forge her own path, Jane struggles for the courage to become the person she wants to be. Just Jane is an inspiring historical tale of a girl and a nation, each learning to fight for independence. Includes a reader's guide.
