Was Lydia’s Big Question answered? In this historical fiction story, young Lydia Hamilton Smith wondered who her father was. Born during the early 1800s in a Gettysburg tavern to a single mother, formerly enslaved, Lydia had to work as a servant just like her mother. The story starts on her fifth birthday. Both she and her mother worked for Mrs. Hamilton, a descendant of the tavern's founders and the owner of the Russell Tavern. She was demanding, yet her husband was not. When Lydia’s mother moved out of the tavern, they adopted baby Jane, whose mother died after escaping toward freedom. Lydia learned about freedom seekers, property management, and bookkeeping. Without access to formal education, she adjusted, absorbed, and accommodated. Teenage Lydia found faith and made new friends, going with them to listen to a banjo player named Jacob Smith. The two married and had two sons, then moved to Harrisburg, where Jacob led a band, and they purchased property. Yet, Smith’s drinking and gambling forced Lydia to get a job to pay the rent, and they separated. Soon after, Lydia accepted an offer from Thaddeus Stevens to be his housekeeper after he had moved to Lancaster.
Lydia then ran Mr. Stevens’ household, raising his two nephews along with her two boys. She had to learn new skills. In addition to managing his household, she oversaw his schedule to ensure the household ran smoothly. As a free woman at a time when blacks lacked basic rights — even those who were three-fourths white and worked for prominent people —she managed to overcome and thrive.

Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a GreatBookPrices, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.

- La entrega de periódicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepción de los contratos de suscripción; y
