From the New York Times best-selling authors of America's First Daughter comes the epic story of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton - a revolutionary woman who, like her new nation, struggled to define herself in the wake of war, betrayal, and tragedy. In this haunting, moving, and beautifully written book, Dray and Kamoie used thousands of letters and original sources to tell Eliza's story as it's never been told before - not just as the wronged wife at the center of a political sex scandal but also as a founding mother who shaped an American legacy in her own right.

The house was built in the Old Queen's time: built for an Elizabethan pirate who was knighted for the plunder he brought home. It survived many eras, many reigns: it saw the passing of Cromwell and the Civil War. It became rich with an Indian Nabob and poor with a 20th century innkeeper. It saw wars, and lovers, and death. Children were born there, both heirs and bastards. It had ghosts and legends and a history that grew stranger with every generation.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 171
A recent finishing school graduate, 18-year-old Garnet Cameron is desperate for direction. Too driven for the restrictive manners of the upper class, Garnet is naturally drawn to Oliver Hale, a frontier trader from the West. Unlike the men to whom she's accustomed, Oliver treats Garnet as an equal and respects her independence. His tales of adventure on the plains thrill her. And his proposal of marriage is accepted. Then Garnet discovers how ill-prepared she is for the punishing landscape of the Jubilee Trail and the even harsher realities of human nature.

East London, 1888 - a city apart. A place of shadow and light where thieves, whores, and dreamers mingle, where children play in the cobbled streets by day and a killer stalks at night, where bright hopes meet the darkest truths. Here, by the whispering waters of the Thames, Fiona Finnegan, a worker in a tea factory, hopes to own a shop one day, together with her lifelong love, Joe Bristow, a costermonger's son. With nothing but their faith in each other to spur them on, Fiona and Joe struggle, save, and sacrifice to achieve their dreams.

A beautiful story of strength
This is a masterpiece written with so
Much obvious research and work. The smallest details are carved out and displayed in a way to make you feel you are reading a non- fiction autobiography. I love all of Nancy Turner’s books.

beautifully done.
I enjoyed it thoroughly. The characters were very rich and colorful. The details make the story come alive and I felt a part of the story. I love audio books but felt maybe my concentration was waning as I was not able to get into the books I ordered. I was considering leaving Audiobooks. This book was gripping and more than kept my interest.

A life well lived!
This was an amazing tale. I followed Resolute from a carefree child in Jamaica, as a slave in puritan America and a silent patriot in Boston. This story is a testament to the strength and power of early American women. I laughed and cried, laughed more and then ugly cried when I had to say goodbye. This was the best 25 hours I have ever listened to. Thank you Nancy, for another amazing character and a story that will stay with me forever.
