| Summary |
"My Lady of Doubt" by Randall Parrish is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set during the American Revolutionary War, focusing on Major Lawrence, a prominent officer in the Maryland Line. As tensions rise with British forces, Lawrence embarks on a daring mission to gather intelligence in Philadelphia while navigating the complexities of loyalty, love, and danger. At the start of the novel, several soldiers discuss the conditions of their troops and their desire for action after the harsh winter at Valley Forge. Major Lawrence is unexpectedly summoned to headquarters, where he learns of a critical mission: he is to impersonate a captured British officer to gather vital information about enemy forces in Philadelphia. The opening introduces key historical figures, including General Washington and Colonel Hamilton, creating a backdrop of urgency and espionage, with Lawrence's bold character traits becoming evident as he prepares to face the challenges ahead.
