In 1776 Virginia, young Mary Geddy faces a pivotal moment as the colony votes on independence from Britain. The decision could send her father to war and her best friend back to England. As tensions rise, Mary grapples with the potential loss of her community and the people she loves. Will the promise of freedom outweigh the personal sacrifices? The outcome of this historic vote will change everything for Mary and those around her, leaving her to wonder what the future holds in a world on the brink of transformation.
