The bold and free willed Anne Bonny's leaves the dreary conventions of polite Charleston Society, and with a style and charm all her own she makes her way through the ultimate man's world, fighting sword to sword in shipboard battles, matching wits with Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet. Mistress Bonny is not one to be intimidated by the amorous , and other complications by her new-found freedom. Maligned and misunderstood by history, Anne Bonny appears in a new light in "Wind From the Main" Read her story for what it is, and compare what male biographer's would have you believe she was a wicked, wanton wench. Intriguing tale of one woman's unconventional escape from an ultra-conventional world and more than a novel's worth of adventure and romance. An autographed copy signed by author Anne Osborne.
