Love or freedom? That’s the choice Tom West must make. A young gardener on a vast English estate in 1800, he has been taught all his life that “Them as sticks their heads out gets ‘em lopped off.” But when he unwittingly attracts the unwelcome attentions of the master’s daughter, her father's retribution is swift to follow. Tom flees to America to secure his freedom and find land of his own, but his plans are complicated by the high-spirited American girl who helped him escape the gallows.The Gardener is a patriotic, inspiring novel about the American Dream in the earliest days of the United States, set soon after the American Revolution, during the presidency of Thomas Jefferson. It belongs on your to-read list along with books by Catherine Coulter and Ciji Ware.
