Historical
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 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.
