Felicity loves riding horses far more than stitchery or serving tea. When she falls in love with a beautiful chestnut mare, she schemes to save the mare from its cruel owner with the help of Ben, her father's young apprentice. Yet as talk of revolution rumbles around her, finds it harder to tell right from wrong. Ben wants war, while her best friend's family remains loyal to the king. Then receives an invitation to the Governor's Palace, and she must decide where her own loyalties lie. In Love and Loyalty, the first volume of her classic stories, finds out what independence really means as the American colonies begin their fight for freedom.

Отрывок из книги
elicity Merriman pushed open the door to her father’s store and took a deep breath. She loved the smell of coffee beans and chocolate, of pine soap, spice tea, and apples. No other place in the world smelled as good as her father’s store.
“Good day, Mistress Merriman!” said her father. He smiled and bowed.

“Don’t you worry about Jiggy Nye’s new horse,” said Mr. Merriman. “I’m sure it’s strong and healthy. Jiggy Nye would be foolish to mistreat it.” He kissed Felicity on the forehead. “Now you run along home. Your mother will be wondering what’s become of you and that ginger. Good-bye, my child.”
“Good-bye, Father. Good day, Mrs. Fitchett,” said Felicity.
