"Never forget where you came from."
At the turn of the century and the dawning of the modern world, Gina from Belpasso comes to Boston's Freedom Docks to find a new and better life, and meets Harry Barrington, who is searching for his.
The fates of the Barringtons and Attavianos become entwined, on a collision course between the old and new, between what is expected and what is desired, what is chosen and what is bestowed, what is given and what is taken away.
As America races headlong into the future, much will be lost and much will be gained for Gina and Harry, whose ill-fated love story will break your heart.

Comments about Children of Liberty:
I have read all of Paullina's books. Her last 2 before this one were disappointing but in this one she has a return to her previous form. A good read!

Comments about Children of Liberty:
Certainly a good book but not the authors best. In the beginning the plot can sometimes be a little slow but definitely picks up towards the end.

Comments about Children of Liberty:
I'm a huge fan of Paulina Simons - love her books and have met her but wouldn't say this is one of her better books. Gina irritated me half way through the book. Saying that, still well worth a read and certainly the final chapter comes to a dramatic ending - what a lesson in life !! WOW Was a reasonable holiday read.

Praise for Tatiana and Alexander: 'This has everything a romance glutton could wish for: a bold, talented and dashing hero, a heart-stopping love affair ... It also has - thank goodness - a welcome sense of humour and discernible characters rather than ciphers.' Victoria Moore, Daily Mail Praise for The Bronze Horseman: 'Pulling off the passionate love story embedded in a truly epic narrative is a difficult thing to do. Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind remains the blueprint for the genre, while Tolstoy's War and Peace carries off the literary honours ... it's quickly apparent that the Russian-born author Paullina Simons has the measure of this kind of epic romantic saga ... She is able to make some powerful statements about the durability of the human spirit, but never at the expense of descriptive passages refulgent with power and beauty' Barry Forshaw, Amazon Praise for Tully: 'Pick up this book and prepare to have your emotions wrung so completely you'll be sobbing your heart out one minute and laughing through your tears the next... Read it and weep - literally' Company
