Nancy's Story: 1765

(3) 4-6 Young Americans series. Twelve-year-old Nancy worries that her father's reluctance to take a stand against the Stamp Act will have an adverse affect on the family business, and she has little patience for her stepmother's poor health during pregnancy. Inspired by the few facts known about the real Nancy Geddy, the short novel adequately portrays the concerns of a young Williamsburg girl. Historical information is appended.
