Description Saving Home is an historical novel set during the English siege of St. Augustine in 1702. The story is told through the eyes of nineyearold Luissa de Cueva and her friends, tenyearold Diego de las Alas, and a Timucuan Indian girl named Junco. Based on meticulous research, Saving Home engages readers of all ages with descriptions of Spanish and Native American families seeking refuge for more than six weeks within the walls of the Castillo de San Marcos as St. Augustine goes up in flames and a battle rages around them. This exciting historical novel has messages about life, family, and what is important that will resonate with both the young and the young at heart.
