Most people do not know women were already on that battlefield.
Not as nurses. Not waiting at home. Actually there. In the field. With their husbands. Carrying water through cannon fire. History remembers the battles, but it does not always remember the women who kept the army alive. Janine Turner wanted to change that.
In her words, Molly Pitcher is the epitome of guts. The woman behind the name Molly Pitcher was Mary Ludwig Hays, and her legacy and impact live on.

Everyone knows the revolutionary. Nobody knows the statesman.
Most people picture Samuel Adams at the Boston Tea Party, rallying the streets with “no taxation without representation.” Few know he also graduated from Harvard and spent years shaping the legislative groundwork of a new nation. Janine Turner wanted to show both men: the instigator and the architect. The same person. She calls him an enigma, and when you watch him walk into a room and take charge of it without saying a word, you understand exactly what she means.
Not because of his title. Because of who he was.

Most Americans know Alexander Hamilton from a musical. Few know what he actually built. As the first Secretary of the Treasury, he created the American financial system from scratch. Before that, he wrote 51 of the 85 Federalist Papers in approximately six months under a pseudonym while simultaneously practicing law. He founded the U.S. Coast Guard and the New York Post. He built institutions that have outlasted every generation since.
Everything he built is still standing.
