About this book
Brave eight-year-old Anne Nelson takes center stage in Little Maid of Province Town by Alice Turner Curtis, a stirring historical-fiction adventure set on Cape Cod during the American Revolution. Anne, separated from her soldier father, is determined to play her part in the struggle for independence; when a vital message must travel from Boston to Newburyport, she volunteers to carry it, facing patrols, storms, and the dangers of a wartime coast.
Curtis paints a vivid portrait of colonial life in Provincetown—its tight-knit maritime community, the ever-present threat of British ships, and the everyday courage of ordinary people. The story blends youthful determination and coming-of-age themes with authentic Revolutionary War atmosphere, sea-bound peril, surprising friendships, and moments of quiet resilience. Told with gentle suspense and period detail, it evokes both the historical stakes and the optimism of childhood.
Perfect for listeners who enjoy historical fiction, children's and young-adult adventure, or family-friendly tales of bravery, this audiobook offers an accessible introduction to American history and an inspiring heroine whose courage and loyalty will resonate with young readers and adults alike.
