During the American Revolution, the Marquis de Lafayette's wife Adrienne finds herself in danger as France experiences its own political unrest. In 1914, New York socialite Beatrice Chanler witnesses the devastation in France, and determines to convince America to fight for what's right. And as a world war again erupts and the Nazi occupation settles in, artist Marthe Simone questions who she will become. In a feat of virtuoso storytelling, Stephanie Dray connects these three bold women in their moments of life-changing crisis.
