Abigail
Born to a heritage of the "god-fearin' and money-makin'" philosophy of the early Quakers, Abigail Harrison was the daughter of a gentle religious mother and a parsimonious lawyer father.
Disenchanted by the strict rules of the Philadelphia Friends' Society, she longs for the friendship of worldly people, their graces and gaiety.
Andrew Hamilton and his son, Benjamin Turner, Sir Henry Carstairs...all were infatuated by her. But none of them made her happy for long.
The story of her life is unfolded against the backdrop of pre-Revolutionary War Quaker life.
