Behind shuttered windows, she witnesses flirtation harden into dangerous political intrigue as the general arrives with grievances of his own. Revolutionary Philadelphia is brought to life as Becca seeks to find her "missing pieces" while exploring the complicated issues of the war between the impoverished independence men and the decadent British Tories.
