The year is 1716, and Kath O'Brien is a Catholic widow living quietly in the Irish countryside. Early one June morning, the local sheriff and his men ride onto her property and throw her young nephew to the ground, bloody and broken. Her life changes from that moment, shattering into pieces with unimaginable consequences. Kath's journey takes her through many crises and challenges to an untamed British territory ruled by pirates.
From the Emerald Isle to the turquoise seas of the Bahamas, this novel weaves together historical fact with romance and the way life was in the 18th century. Using one of her own family stories, the author has crafted a fast-paced adventure tale about the people who originally settled the Bahamas, and how they came to be there. Indentured servitude, slavery, hurricanes, wrecks, pirates, hard-scrabble life, racism, religious intolerance and the eventual rule of law all feature in the heroine's life, and depict the strength of character that people needed to survive in those times.
