Scars of the Revolution Tour & Giveaway

About the Book

Book: Scars of the Revolution

Author: Megan Soja

Genre: Christian Historical Romance

Release Date: January 6, 2026

Some scars are born from duty, others from rebellion—theirs were carved by both.

Libby Caldwell has been in love with Isaac Harrison for years, ever since her late father befriended him. While her head knows there is no hope of sharing her life with a British soldier, her heart is much more difficult to convince, especially now that he is quartering in her home. With Boston under siege and battle looming, each day together forces her to recognize how deep her feelings truly are…and how forbidden.

Bound by duty to both his family and country, Isaac is determined to serve honorably in the King’s army, despite never wishing to be a soldier. But quartering with the widow and daughter of his old friend places another obligation on his shoulders—that of their well-being. The more time he spends with Miss Caldwell, the more that duty begins to feel like something personal, something he cannot allow.

As the siege of Boston tightens, Libby finds herself drawn into a dangerous game of espionage that could save the Patriot cause—and destroy any chance of a future with the man she’s growing to love.

Will betrayal and war keep their two worlds forever apart? Or will they look to the One whose love knows no bounds to bring them healing and a future?

More from Megan

One of the things I love about reading and writing Christian fiction, is being able to see God’s truth woven into the story. Even though the characters and their experiences are fictional, the truth of who God is and how He loves us is very real.

In Scars of the Revolution, my heroine, Libby Caldwell, wrestles with understanding God’s goodness in the face of loss and hardship. Libby is grieving the death of her beloved father, while also facing the siege of her hometown and the worsening fight between the Patriot colonists and the British Army stationed in Boston. Her growing love for one of the British officers further complicates matters, and makes it hard for her to discern what God is doing in her life.

Her questions and struggles reflect much of my own faith journey. When my husband and I lost our first baby just after birth, I spent months trying to reconcile what I thought I knew of God with the tragic loss we had experienced. I wasn’t angry at God, but I was utterly confused as to how to understand His goodness in the midst of something that felt anything but good.

It wasn’t easy, but when I look back now, I see how God led me through my grief into a deeper understand of His character and a stronger reliance upon Him. I can truthfully say, as Libby’s mother does in Scars of the Revolution, that it was “in the hardest times, when God has seemed utterly incomprehensible, that my faith has grown the most.”

If you have ever walked through a painful experience that made you struggle to understand God’s purpose or even doubt His love, I hope that Libby’s journey will inspire your own faith. Or maybe your experience is more like that of my hero, Isaac Harrison, whose life has revolved around duty for so long, that it is hard for him to comprehend a God who freely gives His love and forgiveness, even when we don’t deserve or cannot earn it. I won’t give any spoilers as to how Isaac’s understanding grows and changes, but I hope you’ll be encouraged when you read it.

Libby and Isaac’s story is one of love against all odds, set against the backdrop of the Battle of Bunker Hill and a complex web of espionage. But it is also a story of faith in the God who is able to turn our scars into something beautiful. I pray you will find that truth in the pages of Scars of the Revolution.

MY REVIEW

The story is set during a difficult time that sees division during war. The author creates an emotional look at an historical event with details that make the story come to life. There was a quiet peace surrounding Libby at times even though the loss of her father was never far from her mind. I like how she has a gentle spirit and was able to help someone even though they may not agree on what is going on around them. Libby has had feelings for Isaac for a long time but hides it from him for now. I loved how this relationship is slow and gives readers a look at how God knits us close together as we grow deeper in our faith.

With the chance to leave and get away from the danger, Libby just can’t make herself go. So many cherished memories of her father linger. It is hard to leave the only place she has ever known. Did she make the right decision to stay during a war? There is a definite pull in her heart knowing that one reason she wants to stay is because she has feelings thst grow deeper everyday for Isaac.

Isaac feels the need to protect Libby and her mother especially since her father had become a trusted friend to him. I like how caring he is and his intention to keep Libby and her mother safe. His promise to protect them is never far from his thoughts. Libby’s father was someone Isaac looked up to. His own father was very stern with him and forced him to be a sergeant even though he had no desire to be. Will Isaac find that his devotion to his cause put his relationship with Libby in danger?

Deeply rooted in faith, the story follows two characters who find themselves holding back on their feelings . God is ever present as Libby finds herself learning a secret that could be harmful. She never thought she would be faced with the knowledge that someone close to her is a spy. She can’t reveal this to Isaac as she isn’t sure she can trust him.

I enjoyed how the author gives readers a look at betrayal, secrets and learning to trust in this action packed emotional story. It was hard to see the story end as I have come to enjoy Libby and Isaac’s journey.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
