Historical
On a bright May day in New York City, Anne Peabody receives
an unexpected kiss from a stranger. Bringing news of the
repeal of the Stamp Act, Jack Hampton, a member of the Sons
of Liberty, abruptly sweeps Anne into his arms, kisses
her—and then leaves her to her fate of an arranged
marriage…
1775: Nearly ten years have passed and
Anne, now the Widow Merrick, continues her late husband’s
business printing Tory propaganda, not because she believes
in the cause, but because she needs the money to survive.
When her shop is ransacked by the Sons of Liberty, Anne once
again comes face to face with Jack and finds herself drawn
to the ardent patriot and his rebel cause.
As shots
ring out at Lexington and war erupts, Anne is faced with a
life-altering decision: sit back and watch her world torn
apart, or stand and fight for both her country’s
independence and her own.
