Synopsis

Alexander Hamilton’s family is falling apart.

His heir is dead; his daughter has gone insane with grief, and his loyal wife, Eliza, avoids him when he most needs her comfort. Tormented by the specter of a dreadful secret too shameful to bear, Hamilton is alone in his grief.

As Hamilton grapples with his troubled marriage and devastated family, his vicious political opponent, Aaron Burr, whips up a fierce and wholly unexpected storm that threatens to topple the nation. A nation Hamilton helped forge in blood, sweat, and tears.

Egomaniacal Burr is obsessed with power, and blames Hamilton for a humiliating political loss.
For Burr the only consolation will be Hamilton’s utter ruin.

It is a time of honor, duels, intrigues, and mindless political violence.

Torn between his duty to his wife and family and his steadfast allegiance to the country he fought to build, Hamilton must make a life or death choice.

You know his name, but this is a story that you haven't heard before! If you loved the score of Hamilton, the biographies of Chernow, and the novels of Stephanie Dray, you will love Hamilton's Choice!

"Fans of American history will love this fictionalization of Alexander Hamilton’s political and family life in the years leading to his death. Great for fans of Ron Chernow’s Alexander Hamilton, Joanne Freeman’s Affairs of Honor, Gore Vidal’s Burr"– Booklife Review
