James Holloway has just lost his wife and daughter. His older brother won't let him try any new ideas at the bakery which has been in his family for generations in Ely, England. When he runs into recruiters for the 43rd Regiment of Foot, he decides to sign up, never realizing it will take him to Boston on the eve of the American Revolution. He is assigned as an orderly to Governor Gage where he gets a first-hand view of all sides of the unrest.

Newlywed and historian Daphne Andrews is married to the newly appointed Consul General in the British Consulate in Boston. She quickly wishes she hadn't married without knowing more about her husband. Only after she joins up with the wife of the French Consul General and they decide to create a comic book about the American Revolution does she begin to recapture her own sense of identity.

What about the story behind the story? How did D-L Nelson make certain decisions on what to write? Notes on the creation of LEXINGTON: Anatomy of a Novel add a different dimension to this unique work of historical fiction.
