- May 11, 1775
- Cocoa's ready, everyone!
- Manners, Tommy.
- Thanks, Mother!
- Then the redcoats advanced...
- I want hot chocolate! Move, Mary!
- What happened next?
- May 11, 1775
- But who? Your back is injured, and Thomas is only thirteen.
- I think Theresa could manage...
- Night, Theresa.
- I feel like I'm not being a true Patriot. We need at least one soldier in our family!
- Good night, Father and Mother.
- Does he mean... me?
- June 15, 1775
- Training today is... er... freestyle. Yes, freestyle, that's it. Practice with one other person.
- Something doesn't seem right... Colonel is usually so calm!
- There is no way that a seamstress can be a soldier... but I am doing it, and doing it well. Tommy and Mary may find it amusing, but I think it's working. I can help America gain independence.
- Theresa Mitchell asks her injured father, who was a Patriot soldier, about his experiences in the Battle of Lexington and Concord.
- June 15, 1775
- Isn't it funny how Theresa of all people is a soldier?
- As she is going to bed, Theresa realizes that she must fight for the Patriots.
- June 30, 1775
- Here's some more water, Theresa. Mother says try and eat at least some of the bread if you can...
- Thank you so much, everyone! When my arm is better I will go back to being a soldier, and if I become a minuteman I might even reveal my true identity.
- Theresa thinks something bad may be happening soon because Colonel Prescott is acting nervous, which he hasn't done the whole month she has been training.
- June 30, 1775
- Yes! Then I can fight too, with my real name.
- Theresa is not sure that she can ever be a proper soldier because she is just a 16-year-old girl who should be a seamstress, but realizes that she is a good soldier and can help with the fight for freedom.
- Yes, but cool too!
- During the Battle of Bunker Hill two weeks earlier, Theresa's arm was badly injured. She was conscious for most of the time, but didn't feel well enough to do anything besides eating a little.
- And I sewed you a blanket!
- Even though she was hurt, Theresa is glad that she fought for liberty from the British and is proud of it.
- I don't want to fight, but I'll patch your uniforms up whenever you need me to.
- Oh, darling, your father and I are so proud of you! He still can't stand for long, but he wanted you to know this.
