In Pursuit of Freedom is quite simply the story of the strength, courage, and love of a family. Beginning in the plague-ridden bowels of London Towne in the 1600s, Thomas Gassaway and his wife must put aside their fears and send their son to a foreign land, one last effort—and still at great risk—to save the life of the one whom they hold most dear. The narrative is drawn through time by the voices of each generation, highlighting their fears and sadness as well as their innate fearlessness and ability to become extraordinary in the face of adversity. In a time when their country is in the brink of war, a silent rage creeping inside it, the Gassaways must draw on the love and encouragement of family to endure and often defy expectations.
