When she discovers that Nellie and her sisters have been sent to an orphanage, Samantha tries to help her friends.

Shortly before the Revolutionary War, nine-year-old Felicity, who lives in Williamsburg, is torn between supporting the tariff-induced tea boycott and saving her friendship with Elizabeth, a young loyalist from England.
