Description

First published in 2000, Fever 1793 is a harrowing but hopeful story of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, yellow fever outbreak of 1793. Fourteen-year-old Mattie helps run the family coffeehouse with her mother, grandfather, and coffeehouse cook Eliza, when rumors start circulating of a fever rising in Philadelphia. As the sweltering heat of summer continues, the yellow fever epidemic rages through Philadelphia and Mattie is separated from her family. Mattie faces great hardships and pain, but also great kindness, strength, and determination. And when Mattie is reunited with Eliza, and the epidemic ends and her mother returns, Mattie finds she is a much more capable and strong young woman than she had imagined.
