The book does cover some violent situations so it may be good to discuss with an adult. Info from the back cover: "When the twelve-year old Bostonian helps a British soldier wounded by a mob, she gets on the wrong side of the passions that will lead to the American Revolution. Colonists are dividing over their loyalty to England, and the arguments occur even within Lizzie's own family. It seems that both sides have a point--so who should she follow? Can Lizzie walk the fine line that keeps her safe from the extremists on both sides? If, as her aunt tells her, God is in control, why is Lizzie so afraid? Let the Sisters in Time series take you back to 1765--where you may find that Lizzie Murray isn't that much different than you."
There is some talk of God but in a vague manner.
