A maid’s view of Revolutionary Philadelphia
Set in Revolutionary Philadelphia, the novel places Becca, an independent-minded young maid, at the center of a story involving Peggy Shippen and Benedict Arnold. Through Becca’s effort to find her “missing pieces,” the narrative connects a personal search with the political divisions of the Revolution, including tensions between supporters of independence and British Tories. Its historical frame brings questions of loyalty, influence, and betrayal into view through the perspective of someone working within the household and social world around its prominent figures.
