"An edge-of my sear immersion into historical events...No study of Alexander Hamilton would be complete without reading this book." ā€”Karen White, New York Times bestselling author

"The best book of the year!" ā€”Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network

Wife, Widow, and Warrior in Alexander Hamiltonā€™s quest for a more perfect union

From the New York Times bestselling authors of Americaā€™s First Daughter comes the epic story of Eliza Schuyler Hamiltonā€”a revolutionary woman who, like her new nation, struggled to define herself in the wake of war, betrayal, and tragedy. Perfect for fans of Ron Chernow's biography Alexander Hamilton and fans of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton: the Musical.

In this haunting, moving, and beautifully written novel, Dray and Kamoie used thousands of letters and original sources to tell Elizaā€™s story as itā€™s never been told beforeā€”not just as the wronged wife at the center of a political sex scandalā€”but also as a founding mother who shaped an American legacy in her own right.

A generalā€™s daughterā€¦

Coming of age on the perilous frontier of revolutionary New York, Elizabeth Schuyler champions the fight for independence. And when she meets Alexander Hamilton, Washingtonā€™s penniless but passionate aide-de-camp, sheā€™s captivated by the young officerā€™s charisma and brilliance. They fall in love, despite Hamiltonā€™s bastard birth and the uncertainties of war.

A founding fatherā€™s wife...

But the union they createā€”in their marriage and the new nationā€”is far from perfect. From glittering inaugural balls to bloody street riots, the Hamiltons are at the center of it allā€”including the political treachery of Americaā€™s first sex scandal, which forces Eliza to struggle through heartbreak and betrayal to find forgiveness.

The last surviving light of the Revolutionā€¦

When a duel destroys Elizaā€™s hard-won peace, the grieving widow fights her husbandā€™s enemies to preserve Alexanderā€™s legacy. But long-buried secrets threaten everything Eliza believes about her marriage and her own legacy. Questioning her tireless devotion to the man and country that have broken her heart, sheā€™s left with one last battleā€”to understand the flawed man she married and imperfect union he could never have created without herā€¦
