Things to be aware of in “Finding Freedom:”

Language:
- 1 stupid
- 1 dumb

Spiritual Content:
- Many prayers are said out loud and internally.
- A nativity play is put on

I was very proud of American Girl for the faith aspect that was brought to this book!!

Violence:
- Whipping
- A mention of a boy’s legs being crushed

Additional Notes:

- Families are separated.
- Girls disguise themselves as boys.
- Mentions of soldiers who are missing limbs
- A character is unkind to another, having her be her unofficial slave… (altro)
