Clarissa's Courage

In the dimly lit world of 18th-century Northfield, Massachusetts, where shadows whispered secrets and the air crackled with the tension of revolution, there emerged an unlikely heroine named Clarissa. At first glance, she appeared to be an ordinary young girl, thirteen years of age, her world veiled in darkness due to her partial blindness. Little did anyone know that behind those seemingly clouded eyes, Clarissa harbored a sharp intellect and an unyielding spirit that would propel her into the heart of a clandestine world. "Clarissa's Courage" invites readers to embark on an extraordinary journey alongside Clarissa, whose indomitable courage transcends her physical limitations. Born into a society gripped by the fervor of the American Revolution, Clarissa's destiny takes an unexpected turn when she and her doll become the instruments in a secret mission.
The narrative weaves a tale of danger, sacrifice, and resilience as Clarissa and her grandfather bring an important message in a very secretive way to General George Washington. Relying on her wits and friends she discovers along the way, Clarissa tests the limits of her own strength, and confronts the prejudices that society holds against those with disabilities. Clarissa's journey transcends the boundaries of sight, illuminating a world where courage knows no limits and where a young girl with a unique vision becomes an unsung hero of the American Revolution.
