Portsmouth, England,1760. Patricia Kelley, the illegitimate
daughter of a wealthy Barbadian sugarcane planter, falls from her
imagined place in the world when her absent father unexpectedly
dies. Raised in a Wiltshire boarding school sixteen-year-old
Patricia embarks on a desperate crossing on a merchantman bound for
Barbados, where she was born, in a brash attempt to claim an
unlikely inheritance. Aboard a merchantman under contract with the
British Navy to deliver gunpowder to the West Indian forts, young
Patricia finds herself pulled between two worlds -- and two
identities -- as she charts her own course for survival in the
war-torn 18th century.
