Merlin heard them first.The story of Becca serving as the maid of Peggy Shippen during the Revolutionary War. Here, she witnesses the interaction between British soldiers, young girls in Philadelphia and the crossing of lines. More importantly, she witnesses the courtship of Peggy by Benedict Arnold.
I really don't care to read historical fiction set in times of war. However, I did enjoy the story written here. The author's note, glossary and list of resources demonstrate the great deal of research needed to accurately portray this time.
