Elisabeth seems to have the dream life
every young woman desires. A handsome
fiancé who will give her a lovely home to be mistress over
when she weds and social status everyone envies. All suddenly changes when her father sends
her mother away to be nursed back to health for her frailties. Elisabeth immediately recognizes her father’s
falsehood. He has sent her mother away
not for physical or mental health reasons but for her strong beliefs in the
Patriots’ politics. Soon after this her
father flees Virginia to escape the Patriots’ growing strength in Virginia. At the same time Elisabeth finds herself abandoned by her
fiancé Miles. Not knowing when and if
her mother will return Elisabeth finds herself alone. Into this dire circumstance comes Noble a
cousin of Miles with strong Patriot ties.
He volunteers to take Elisabeth
and her maid servant into his home to keep them safe. Elisabeth accepts for her servant girl’s sake
but soon makes her way to Williamsburg to fend for herself as a lacemaker. While she can’t totally forget Noble nor he
her there are weighty matters at hand.
When the rebellion between England and the Patriot colonists escalates
Elisabeth finds herself wondering where her loyalties really lie and where her
heart belongs.
I received this book from Revell
publishers and was not required to write a positive review.
