She is learning how to serve tea and be a proper gentlewoman, but politics quickly invade her quiet parlor. To protest unfair taxes, the colonists are organizing a strict boycott on all English tea. At the very same time, Felicity has become fast friends with Elizabeth, a young girl whose family is fiercely loyal to the British crown. You will feel Felicity's inner conflict as she is caught squarely in the middle. Should she support her family and the patriots by refusing to drink tea, or should she share a cup with Elizabeth to protect their new bond? Step into a divided colonial world and discover how deeply political choices can impact the truest of friendships.
