Synopsis

Two years into the War of 1812, a group of four teenagers must navigate adolescents, relationships, and the dire consequences of battle steps from their front doors.

Meet Donald, Julie, David, and Sandy - four teens living in New Orleans during the early 1800s. With the invasion of the British on the east coast two years prior, the friends have been forced to understand the realities of living in a war-torn time. British forces docked on the shores of their home in mid-December, transforming their once-idyllic town into a battlefield.

On a blustery, cold morning in December 1814, thousand of British soldier camped a few miles south of New Orleans. Donald, His Friends, and the New Orleans Pirates tells the heart-pounding, evocative story of how the friends were involved in fighting the British-and what happened to them after the war was over.

Rooted in historical fact, Donald, His Friends, and the New Orleans Pirates is an exciting historical fiction novel that blends reality with fiction for an engaging story. Told with wit, heart, and through the eyes of lovable characters, the novel is a poignant reminder of how the various groups of people in a town came together in a common cause that helped change the future of America.

Readers of James Michener's many works will appreciate DeWing's similar commitment to preserving history through literature-while the latter's addition of relatable human stories creates a decisive and unique voice.

Written for the young and young at heart, Donald, His Friends, and the New Orleans Pirates takes readers on a heartfelt, swashbuckling adventure amid the relationships, sacrifices, and lives that sewed our nation together.
