Description
Set against the tumultuous backdrop of colonial America's early years, My Name Is Resolute tells the story of a young woman's struggle to find herself in a society governed by strict rules. In 1729, 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, where they learn the trade of spinning and weaving. Alone in Lexington, Massachusetts, Resolute must navigate a world that judges young women without families harshly. As the seeds of rebellion against England grow, she 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 played a significant role in the American Revolution. This heart-wrenching novel is a testament to the power of resilience and determination in the face of adversity, beautifully woven into a narrative packed with adventure and intrigue.
