Nancy Turner burst onto the literary scene with her hugely
popular novels "These Is My Words, Sarah's Quilt, "and "The Star
Garden. "Now, Turner has written the novel she was born to write,
this exciting and heartfelt story of a woman struggling to find
herself during the tumultuous years preceding the American
Revolution.
The year is 1729, and 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 and taught the trade of spinning and weaving.
When Resolute finds herself alone in Lexington, Massachusetts, she
struggles to find her way in a society that is quick to judge a
young woman without a family. As the seeds of rebellion against
England grow, Resolute 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 helped drive the
American Revolution. Heart-wrenching, brilliantly written, and
packed to the brim with adventure, "My Name is Resolute" is
destined to be an instant classic.
