Ten-year-old Felicity Merriman is growing up in Williamsburg, Virginia, just before the American
Revolution. High-spirited Felicity would rather rush into exciting adventures, like taming the
wild horse owned by the cruel tanner, Jiggy Nye. Change is in the air as some colonists take steps toward independence from the king of
England. Others, like Felicity’s grandfather are shocked
that anyone would question the rule of the king. How can Felicity choose a side when she knows
it means being disloyal to someone she loves? As the Revolutionary War threatens to tear
friends and neighbors apart, Felicity’s family faces a crisis of its own.
