As the War for Independence wore on into the 1780s, unrest ruled the Carolinas. Settlers who had cleared the land after the Cherokees withdrew were being mustered for battle as British forces pillaged their hard-won farms. Robert Morgan's stunning novel tells a story of two people caught in the chaos raging in the wilderness. After sixteen-year-old Josie Summers murders her abusive stepfather, she runs away from home disguised as a boy. Lost in the woods, she accepts a young preacher's invitation to assist in his itinerant ministry. Eventually her identity is revealed and affection grows between the two. But when the preacher is kidnapped by British soldiers, Josie disguises herself once again and joins the militia in a desperate attempt to find him. Brave Enemies is a page-turning story of people brought together by chance and torn apart by war--a story of enduring love and of the struggle to build a homeland.

However, the part I found most objectionable was its (in my opinion) cavalier treatment of rape. I don't think there was a single man who was alone with Josie and knew she was girl that did not try to have sex with her, regardless of whether she gave consent. John never seems to notice or care about Josie's traumatic past - he's too busy yelling at her for deceiving him as to her sex. The overall feeling I got was that if a man is alone with a woman, it doesn't matter if she gives consent, or if he's married to someone else, he will be unable to stop himself from trying to have sex with her. That is, needless to say, ridiculous. I'm glad that other people seem to have enjoyed this book, but I found it absurd. ( )
