But no visitor to her parents' home has affected her so strongly as Alexander Hamilton, a charismatic, ambitious aide to George Washington. They marry quickly, and despite the tumult of the American Revolution, Eliza is confident in her brilliant husband and in her role as his helpmate. But it is in the aftermath of war, as Hamilton becomes one of the country's most important figures, that she truly comes into her own. <p/> In the new capital, Eliza becomes an adored member of society, respected for her fierce devotion to Hamilton as well as her grace. Behind closed doors, she astutely manages their expanding household, and assists her husband with his political writings. Yet some challenges are impossible to prepare for. Through public scandal, betrayal, personal heartbreak, and tragedy, she is tested again and again. In the end, it will be Eliza's indomitable strength that makes her not only Hamilton's most crucial ally in life, but also his most loyal advocate after his death, determined to preserve his legacy while pursuing her own extraordinary path through the nation they helped shape together. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <b><b>Praise for I, ELIZA HAMILTON</b> <p/></b>"Scott expertly handles the complex history and complicated romance, moving the personal and political plots briskly...Readers will be captivated by the affecting portrait Scott has painted of Eliza as an American patriot who was witness and counsel to Alexander's enduring legacy." - <b><i>Publishers Weekly </i>(starred review)</b> <p/>"Scott's devotion to research is evident, and those who enjoy learning about history through fiction should find this to be a rewarding take on a fascinating historical couple." - <b><i>Library Journal </i></b> <p/>"<i>I, Eliza Hamilton</i> is going to be your next <i>Hamilton</i> obsession. -<b><i> Bustle</i></b> <p/>"With the recent popularity of Alexander Hamilton comes the much deserved interest in his wife, Eliza.
