Set against the turbulent backdrop of the Boston Tea Party, this story of two friends is full of political intrigue and romance. The Trouble with Tea opens with Patience traveling in a private carriage to her best friend Anne's home in Boston, where her adventures begin. Patience and Anne both find themselves swept up in the heated political climate of colonial Boston. Loyalists, steadfast in their allegiance to England are pitted against those who fervently plot for independence. The feisty heroine quickly discovers that her own beliefs are the opposite of her friend's. Against the finale of the explosive Tea Party comes the upheaval of independence, not only for the young colony, but for two childhood friends as well. This book interweaves historical fact with a coming of age story using such creativity and detail that the reader is transported in time.
