When Elizabeth Timothy's husband died in 1738, he left his pregnant wife with four small children. The couple's eldest son, Peter, was too young to fulfill his father's printing agreement with Benjamin Franklin. Forfeiture would mean loss of livelihood for the Timothy family. So, under Peter's name, Elizabeth continued to publish the South Carolina Gazette herself in order to provide for her family and insure her son's inheritance. This vibrant piece of historical fiction shares the story of Elizabeth Timothy who became the first female printer in the American colonies, forever changing the face of the publishing industry and leaving an indelible mark on Charleston's-and America's-rich history.
