"a fascinating novel with well-drawn...
stoic and determined heroines..."
In this, the first of four volumes, Carole Love‑Forbes introduces us to those prominent women in American history... that we never knew. From her
fascination with the women behind, beside and around the shakers and movers of early American life from the earliest colonies to the Revolutionary
War emerged the Saga of Bridget and Amanda. Her research changed her view and understanding of American history. Being a fan of stories about kings and queens, she thought American history would be boring. She admits to the contrary. Her newfound infatuation with the women whose untold stories and unsung heroism meant their lives needed to be brought to light. Their dramatic life adventures, though rarely acknowledged, helped shape this nation. Enjoy the rich tapestry Carole Love‑Forbes, weaves from the interesting and varied characters that populate the villages, towns, ports and seagoing vessels in this saga.
