This unique, sweet story shares how the noble Frenchman, Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette is so moved by the colonists' determination to be free from the British rule that he sneaks out of France to join the American Revolution and to meet his hero, George Washington. Americans know him as "Lafayette". Lafayette proves to be an asset and soon becomes Washington's friend. In fact, Washington calls him his "adopted son".
I felt that this story ends very abruptly. The author, however, continues this story of unique friendship on several pages in the back in an somewhat afterword. Separate time lines for Lafayette and Washington are included in the back too.
