Under President George Washington, the nation's capital is a burgeoning place. Into this dramatic arena come Kitty Gentry and her beloved husband Roman, now a senator from their home state of Kentucky. As the Gentrys master political intrigue and the social whirl of Philadelphia with the likes of rakish Aaron Burr, charming Alexander Hamilton, and magnetic Thomas Jefferson, Kitty finds her heart drawn back to the rolling bluegrass of Kentucky . . . .
