A family divided. A nation in revolt. A woman who saw everything. Before history forgot her, Peggy Schuyler was watching. In a house where war crossed the threshold as often as guests, Margarita "Peggy" Schuyler learned early that silence could be as powerful as speech. Daughter of a Revolutionary household, sister to Angelica and Eliza, witness to ambition, danger, courtship, grief, and the making of a nation, Peggy moves through the margins of other people's legends while quietly recording everything. From the candlelit halls of Schuyler Mansion to the uneasy pull of Alexander Hamilton's orbit, And Peggy Was Watching reimagines the life of the sister history reduced to a passing line. Intelligent, observant, and sharper than anyone suspects, Peggy becomes the unseen thread between love and loyalty, family and politics, private sorrow and public destiny. Rich with letters, loss, and the dangerous intimacy of a world on the brink of revolution, this sweeping historical novel gives voice to the woman who was always in the room - and never merely an afterthought.
