At the dawn of our republic, beautiful and fiery-willed Henrietta Cromwell grows up in an atmosphere of seemingly unparalleled privilege, only to reject her world when paternal duty calls. Betrayed by her father and the man she runs away with to marry, Henrietta is forced to deal with the turbulent world of British America, turning toward liberty and revolution. Will this excellent young woman survive and thrive in this world at such a tender age? Or will she be overtaken by events and become a tragic figure like so many others when this world turns upside down?
