Soon her father contacts her and demands that she spy for the Tories.
Resourceful and proud, Elizabeth-though raised a lady-finds work as a mender and lace maker. Animosities between Tories and Patriots heat up, and Elizabeth’s father flees with the governor, her betrothed deserts her, and she’s left penniless in an enemy city. His kindness is a sharp contrast to her wastrel of a beau. Her fiancé gambles and drinks, so his cousin, Noble, a Patriot, escorts her to her betrothal ball. In Williamsburg, Virginia, on the eve of the American Revolution in 1775, Elizabeth Lawson is set to marry the man her Tory father picked out.
