Description
*ON HOLD Mercy Painter wants nothing more than to have the freedom she has long been denied by both her parents and society-- to speak her mind and have the same opportunities as men. So when General George Washington winters at her aunt's house, Mercy impresses both him and the dashing French Marquis de Lafayette (whom she just might have a slight crush on). She is quickly invited to join the General's military family, a position where Mercy is more than welcome to speak her mind. But even with a position so high, Mercy's passion for freedom for both herself and her country are continually threatened by everyone around her- including the people she trusts most.
