Nancy Turner burst onto the literary scene with her hugely
popular novels These Is My Words, Sarah’s Quilt, and The
Star Garden. Now, Turner has written the novel she was born
to write, this exciting and heartfelt story of a woman
struggling to find herself during the tumultuous years
preceding the American Revolution. The year is 1729, and Resolute Talbot and her siblings are
captured by pirates, taken from their family in Jamaica, and
brought to the New World. Resolute and her sister are sold
into slavery in colonial New England and taught the trade of
spinning and weaving. When Resolute finds herself alone in
Lexington, Massachusetts, she struggles to find her way in a
society that is quick to judge a young woman without a
family. As the seeds of rebellion against England grow,
Resolute is torn between following the rules and breaking
free. Resolute’s talent at the loom places her at the center
of an incredible web of secrecy that helped drive the
American Revolution. Heart-wrenching, brilliantly written,
and packed to the brim with adventure, My Name is Resolute
is destined to be an instant classic.
