The Alex & Eliza series reimagines the romance between Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler as a young adult love story set during the American Revolution. De La Cruz brings the founding father and his future wife to life as teenagers caught up in both the war for independence and their growing feelings for each other.
The first book covers their courtship, from Hamilton’s arrival at a winter ball to the couple’s eventual engagement. Subsequent books follow them through the Revolutionary War and the early years of their marriage, blending historical events with invented romantic moments.
De La Cruz draws on letters and historical accounts to ground the story in fact while filling in the gaps with her own imagination, creating an accessible entry point into this period of American history for younger readers.
