\ From the Publisher"Some of the most enjoyable creations in Our Lives, Our Fortunes are the characters of men who have, to us, become mythic -- men like Alexander Hamilton, Henry Knox, and great Washington himself. Novelist Fender allows Frost to report on the crafters of the Constitution through the eyes of a practical, well traveled, disenchanted businessman who bears the brunt of the Revolution in his purse and his person. Fender reminds us that the images of the men on our currency were at one time just men, doing their best in trying times. I'm itching for the next Frost book!" --The Times Argus (VT)\ "There's something pleasingly old-fashioned about [Fender's books] that does not arise solely out of the fact that they are set during the Revolution . . . These are not books for cynics or skeptics, even if Fender does toss in a little rebelliousness now and then. Most importantly, they answer the reader's hunger for a good story.--Valley News (NH)\ "Vivid and exciting... graphic and thrilling... This is superb historical fiction, made all the better by Fender's skillful use of dialogue, suspense, and accurate historical description." --The Times Record\ "Exquisitely written and overflowing with the stuff of life."--Lawyers Journal, Massachusetts Bar Association\ \ \
