One woman’s courage can make all the difference.

One woman, Mary Katharine Goddard, signed the Declaration of Independence and risked hanging by doing so. Yet most people don’t know who she was or why she signed it.

Katy grew up in the American colony of Connecticut, educated and trained to be a proper wife and mother. She was supposed to marry and have children, living the ‘normal’ life of an 18th century woman. Destiny said otherwise.

Instead, at the behest of her impulsive brother she moved from one colony to another, efficiently running his string of printing business ventures when he took off in pursuit of some new scheme. Little did she know that each move would bring her closer to the dangerous choice she would be forced to make during the American Revolution.

What led her to become the most daring woman in America – the woman willing to sign her name to treason? Katy explores the answer to that burning question – as she shows us how some risks are worth taking, even when the price could be your life.
