Mary Calvin has written a wonderful novel that takes you back to a important time in our history. I felt like I was standing next to George Washington and Mary Philippe as I was reading it. The story is well written and emotional. A must read in a historical novel.

This is a thoroughly researched and beautifully written story about a small slice of American history, but one that had an enormous impact on our young country. The author makes George Washington and Mary Philipse, as well as the times in which they lived, come alive and gives us an insight into the man who became the Father of our Country.
