*The year is 1770 in Boston. Nathaniel, a 14-year-old apprentice at Mr. Edes' printing shop, navigates a city simmering with patriotic fervor. The Edes family, staunch patriots, boycott British goods while effigies hang from the Liberty Tree. Royce, a cocky 16-year-old apprentice, shares Nathaniel’s errands, his heart burning with anti-British rage after a recent tragedy. Suddenly, tension spikes: a Redcoat grabs the wrist of a 13-year-old girl—you—after she retorts to his rudeness. Her white floral dress contrasts with the soldier’s crimson coat. Sons of Liberty members, including Paul Revere and Samuel Adams, notice the altercation. The crowd holds its breath. What happens next to the young lady in the lace gloves?*
