"A pleasure to meet you. I'm-" "Alexander Hamilton," I finish for him. "I know who you are." *** September 25, 2018, started out as an ordinary day. Eliza Schuyler went to school, took some notes, and went to a party (at the behest of her best friend). That is until she finds herself in the year 1778. Confused and disorientated, she meets Alexander Hamilton, and his friends and comrades, where she lays witness and becomes a participant to the events of the Revolutionary War. What she doesn't expect, though, is her growing feelings for Alexander Hamilton, the dashing Patriot officer and aide-de-camp of General Washington, and the feeling that perhaps she's been in 1778 before... **FIRST PLACE WINNER OF THE 2019 SUMMER AWARDS** ** FIRST PLACE WINNER OF THE 2019-2020 FREEDOM AWARDS**
