The Sins of Men: An American Revolutionary War Drama by Danny J. Bradbury
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Sins of Men: An American Revolutionary War Drama, by Danny J. Bradbury,
is a tale weaved of historical fiction where we meet of a young boy named Peter.
Peter is living in poverty as a young boy, and if his life wasn’t hard enough
already, he makes a decision out of desperation to help his family and his
young little life suddenly becomes darker and hopeless. At ten years old, he
is thrown into prison and has to struggle to survive and stay safe. Then he is
forced to join the war to fight against the French and the hopelessness
settles in. But when he finally escapes the shadows that shackle him, he finds
some purpose again.

While there were definitely many parts of this story that made my heart
shatter for Peter, his ability to dig deep and find courage and resilience within
himself during the harshest of times really captured the strength of the human
spirit passionate to live, wanting to find a purpose to keep going. This story
was heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. This story had just the right
amount of intricate detail and clearly knows this era well. The characters were
not all good, or likeable but they were perfect in their roles to tell this tale.
