Description
A 200-year-old debt may finally be repaid. Kiah Harmon, a young Virginia lawyer, is approached by actress Samantha van Eyck with a case that could change her life forever. Her ancestor, Jacob Van Eyck, made a massive loan of gold and supplies to the US Government during the American Revolution, potentially saving George Washington's army from disaster. However, this act of selfless generosity came at a great personal cost, leaving Jacob in poverty and unknown. With Kiah's help, Samantha sets out to uncover the truth about her ancestor's debt and fight for justice.
As they delve deeper into the past, they must navigate a stubborn government determined to keep the truth hidden. Can they find the evidence needed to clear Jacob's name and bring closure to his family? The fate of this forgotten hero hangs in the balance.
A gripping tale of historical fiction, suspense, and legal intrigue, A Statue for Jacob is a story about the power of perseverance and the importance of remembering those who have been overlooked by history.
