Felicity and her family and friends are struggling to cope with the not-so-favorable changes of living in the Colonies, which are now under British rule again.

 * Commments: A very well-written exploration into a relationship between Kit Kittredge and Will Shepherd, one of the few May-December Romance pairings in the American Girls fandom in the midst of the aftermath of the WWII, that has been given some much-deserved love in this wonderful story, as it is a rather ignored pairing since most people ship Lissie/Ben.
