Introduction

It all started after Anne made her debut in London and was just starting to get acquainted with possible suitors when her father decided to move his family to Boston in the American colony. The family came across in a British warship captained by her uncle in answer to the Boston Tea Party.

Journey and Acquaintances

While traveling the Atlantic, Anne became acquainted with her uncle's second in command, Jonathan Wallace. Once on shore in Boston, they became more than mere friends while her sister began her own kind of rebellion against society's rules.

Family Turmoil and Love

A tragic accident put the little family taking sides within itself as love blossomed. At the same time, a sibling rivalry between her father and his brother, the Captain of the warship, erupted along with gunfire and the famous Boston siege which threatened to part the couple and interrupt a return to England.

During the Siege

Meanwhile, Anne ministered to the wounded and made friends with the Indians while looking for her brother in Saratoga as British troops become outnumbered by flintlocks and muskets.
