Produktbeschreibung
Peggy Owen at Yorktown presents a portrait of personal conviction shaped by national conflict and evolving ideals. Through the lens of a determined young woman living during the American Revolutionary War, the story explores the shifting nature of loyalty, the strength required to navigate familial bonds during divisive times, and the quiet courage behind everyday acts of resistance. The narrative captures how domestic life intersects with the broader struggle for independence, where even seemingly small contributions carry weight. Central to the story is a tension between individual beliefs and collective identity, as relationships become strained under the pressure of differing allegiances. The complexity of patriotism is rendered not through grand gestures, but through the choices made in ordinary settings. The expectations placed on women and the value of their work during wartime come into focus, not only in physical labor but also in the emotional strength required to support and question those around them. Peggy s voice offers insight into a world where social order is constantly shifting, and where honor is redefined through action and endurance.
