Reflection in Glass
In 1775 Prudence Ainsworth of Maryland Province is about to
be married to her lifelong friend, Oliver Duke. The happy couple’s dreams are
shattered when conflict between the struggling new Colonies and the Crown of
England erupts in war. Where do others’ allegiance lie? Will each of them
survive the conflicts thrown at them and learn to trust in Providence or will
the dangers and the passions of others deprive them of the love and union that
every couple longs for?
All around Prudence tempers flare and her beloved marches
off to train for a conflict neither of them wants. Letters are scarce and
despair grips her heart when time drags on without word from Oliver. Her father
also puts on a uniform, heads out to war, leaving her mother in charge of the
plantation. Four women left alone in a world gone mad. One dog and a handful of
servants try to keep them safe from people she should be able to trust.
Oliver feels the pull to stand for freedom and marches off
to do a man’s obligation. Events and his skill take him places to fight alone
and in secret. The redcoats are his enemy but he might have to embrace them in
one form or another to stay alive.
