Marie Josephine is a 13-year-old girl from an aristocratic family. As the horrors of the French Revolution grow closer, she is sent to her family's country estate with her sisters, cousins, a governess, and a maid. She loves her country home, Les Vignes, and she enjoys spending time with a boy near her age, Jean, and a shepherd named Dian who live in the same area.Marie's mother and brother remained in Paris where they are caught up in the Revolution. Marie decides to disguise herself as a show more peasant and return to Paris to rescue them. Assisted by Dian and an Englishman named Humphrey Trails, they engineer an escape for the entire family, including those at Les Vignes, as the Revolution spills out of the cities and into the countryside. show lessTags
