Tea and Destiny

Description

Boston, December 16, 1773. Three ships wait in the harbor, while she waits for the man she loves.

Joanna Thayer and Samuel Sprague share the same hopes of a future together, but when he doesn’t come to visit as usual, Joanna can’t help but worry. Is it possible he is involved with the destruction of the tea in Boston Harbor? Samuel doesn’t want to endanger his relationship with Joanna, but the pull to stand up against the tea tax is strong. Is it worth the risk, even if it means keeping a secret from her? Will one night change their lives forever?

Set against the backdrop of the Boston Tea Party, this short story is inspired by real people and brings to life an unforgettable event in American history through the eyes of an ordinary man and woman who experienced it.
