Summary: "Peggy Owen and Liberty" by Lucy Foster Madison is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the story of Peggy Owen, a young Quaker girl in Philadelphia during the tumultuous times of the American Revolutionary War. As the narrative unfolds, Peggy navigates her conflicting loyalties between her pacifist upbringing and the call to patriotism, particularly as she attempts to protect her cousin Clifford, who becomes embroiled in a dangerous escape from the British. At the start of "Peggy Owen and Liberty," readers are introduced to a snow-covered Philadelphia on March 1, 1782. The story begins in the Owen household, bustling with preparations for a dinner amidst a severe storm. Peggy and her mother are excited about the arrival of their friends, particularly her cousin Robert, home on leave from the army. The atmosphere quickly shifts as Peggy’s cousin Clifford secretly arrives seeking refuge after escaping from a British prison. As the evening progresses, the household becomes anxious when British officers, led by Sheriff Will, come to search for the escapee, setting the stage for a tense confrontation that tests friendships and loyalties. The opening establishes not only the immediate danger Clifford faces but also the warmth and camaraderie of Peggy's social circle, highlighting themes of loyalty and sacrifice during a time of war.
