During the summer of 1793, Mattie Cook lives above the family coffee shop with her widowed mother and grandfather. Mattie spends her days avoiding chores and making plans to turn the family business into the finest Philadelphia has ever seen. But then the fever breaks out.

Disease sweeps the streets, destroying everything in its path and turning Mattie's world upside down. At her feverish mother's insistence, Mattie flees the city with her grandfather. But she soon discovers that the sickness is everywhere, and Mattie must learn quickly how to survive in a city turned frantic with disease.

    " I started/finished it yesterday ( the 15th) and enjoyed it. It was a quick easy read with a compelling storyline and good characters I'm going to read other books by the author just to see how she writes. "

    " Anderson has a way with words! This is my favorite of all her books but she has a way with all her books to captivate her readers and make her readers really feel, see and hear what living in this time must have been like for the main character. She is absolutely fantastic. I strongly recommend these books to my students as well, they are so true to history - Anderson puts in so much effort to find her facts and back story. Wonderfully written - finished in a couple a days over just a few hours. So good! "

    " This tale of Mattie Cook and the coffeehouse is definitly believable probably is close to some stories of what people experienced when they had yellow fever. Mattie is very courageous character and pushes through loss and short comings to come back on top. "

    " This is definetly worth a read! I am a historical fiction fan and this is a book set in early America (1793) where populations could be wiped out with the introduction of a new disease...in this case yellow fever. The remedies were interesting, the taboos were interesting, the fact that they thought blacks couldn't get yellow fever...really? Great story of a heroine trying to do the best she can as the world she knows falls apart around her. "

    " This book was a very scary but true look at what happens to people who are not only stricken with disease but also with fear. The scariest part is in this technologically advanced time we are but a moment away from repeating the same ignorance and suffering. A must read! "
