Young and brilliant poet Elizabeth Graeme comes of age in colonial Philadelphia bearing an exceptional talent for writing and an unwillingness to be like all the other young women around her.
Elizabeth stands to lose everything..
Her new husband, however, is staunchly loyal to the British crown.
With battles of the American Revolution on her doorstep, Elizabeth realizes that she is a new American--and an ardent patriot.
Bloodshed ensues.
Suddenly, Elizabeth\'s hometown becomes the seat and heart of the rebel government as the thirteen colonies turn their backs on the all-powerful British empire.
As a new wife, Elizabeth is stunned to see that Pennsylvania is marching towards revolutionary war.
Elizabeth marries Henry four months later in a secret nighttime wedding, against her father\'s wishes.
That is, until the night Henry Fergusson arrives in her parlor.
Back in Philadelphia, she uses her literary talent, intellect, widening social circle, and status as a prominent physician\'s daughter to navigate her colonial life as a single woman.
After a successful trip to England and an audience with the king, the sudden death of her mother and two failed romances leave Elizabeth reeling.
