On the eve of the American Revolution, Lady Elizabeth "Liberty" Lawson finds herself trapped between the patriots and tories in colonial Williamsburg. When her father and other British supporters flee in the night and leave Liberty behind, she finally understands that she must choose a side in the unavoidable war to come. Patriot Noble Rynallt wants to help the homeless and friendless Liberty, despite her British connections. Can the formerly pampered daughter of an aristocrat survive in the new world the patriots want to create? Can she prove her loyalty before war engulfs the colonies?
Laura Frantz takes readers back to a fascinating time in American history in The Lacemaker. Full of historical detail, adventure, and love, Frantz's latest may be one of my new favorites. Witnessing the tide of public opinion turn against the British and the early days of the Revolution making for a truly engaging backdrop, and a page-turning story. Cameos and mentions of famous revolutionaries like Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and Benjamin Franklin add depth and interest to the story as well. Noble is everything swoon-worthy in a romantic lead, and Frantz does an excellent job telling Liberty's story of growth, maturity, and independence. I enjoyed every last page.
