HAMILTON AND PEGGY!

The colonies are in the throes of the Revolutionary War and caught in the midst of spies, traitors, Loyalists and Patriots, is the charming, quick-witted Peggy Schuyler - youngest of the famed Schuyler sisters and daughter of General Philip Schuyler. Her eldest sister Angelica, the "thief of hearts," is known for her passion and intelligence, while kind, sweet Eliza has a beauty so great, it is only outshone by her enormous heart. Though often in the shadows of her beloved sisters, Peggy is talented in her own right - fluent in French, artistically talented, and brave beyond compare.
