It is 1781 in Yorktown, Virginia. Eleven year old Molly Randall desperatley wants to help the Patriot cause her brother and father are so devoted to, and to make her parents realize how grown up she is and to grant her more responsibility. When she must warn the Patriots of an upcoming British attack, Molly discovers how brave she is when she must ride the spirited Arabian horse she loves but has previously been too afraid to ride.

This story keeps you on the edge of your seat, from her first ride on Saultan, the Arabian horse, to the ride that saves her uncles camp from the Redcoats. It's amazing the spunk of an 11 year old colonial girl can be!!

She daydreams of them cantering across the field, though when Sultan's owner offers to let Molly ride him, she decides to stick with her horse, Flora. When the redcoats threaten the people of her town and Sultan's owner is thrown into prison, the Arabian is left to die and America is in danger. Will Molly risk to ride her dream horse and warn her uncle, an American soldier, about the redcoats?
