Historical Fiction - Book 2 of The Essie Lassiter Trilogy​

​Before Washington’s famed Culper spy ring, a secret network known as the Agents of Liberty risked everything to aid the Continental Army. Among them is Essie Lassiter—a visionary woman whose courage and compassion reshape the course of war.


As revolution ignites across the colonies, Essie and her husband, Aquila navigate the perilous years following the Declaration of Independence. From battlefield hospitals to covert missions, Essie’s bold idea for mobile medical units catches the attention of General George Washington himself—who entrusts her with a far more dangerous task: gathering intelligence that could turn the tide of war.

​In this sweeping tale of resilience and sacrifice, Freedom’s Lonely Cry explores the cost of love, the ache of loneliness, and the unrelenting pursuit of liberty. Can one woman’s ingenuity and heart alter the fate of a nation?
