American girls collection. Caroline, 1812

When Caroline Abbott's father is taken prisoner during the War of 1812, she tries to stay strong by helping her mother run the family's shipyard and aiding American soldiers when the British attack her village.

Caroline is thrilled when her cousin Lydia and friend Rhonda stay at her house for the winter, but she begins to reconsider when Rhonda and Lydia spend all of their time together without Caroline.

When Caroline's father leaves with the rest of the town's men to battle the British in the War of 1812, Caroline promises to keep the family shipyard safe, but her loyalties are conflicted when her mother orders her to burn the shipyard to keep it from the enemy.
