Virginia in 1788 is a place of war and divided loyalties. Elizabeth Braxton is a gentlewoman of the capital city. She is also a wife of Carter Braxton, signer of the Declaration of Independence. And she is mother, eventually of sixteen children, doing her best to navigate the turbulent waters of a country and family at war with itself, all on the eve of the wedding of two of her daughters.
