Brought to New England and bound into servitude to pay her
father's debts, Alice Cole, at fifteen, can barely remember the
time when she was not a servant to John Morton. His daughter,
Nabby--only three years older than Alice--begins as Alice's
childhood companion, but when Nabby weds, she becomes Alice's
mistress. But the marriage is not what it appears, and Alice,
endangered by its storm, defies her new master and the law, and
escapes to Boston. Impulsively stowing away on a ship to Satucket
on Cape Cod, Alice believes that she has left her old life and her
secrets behind. Yet in a time of unrest and uncertainty, as
political and personal stakes rise and intertwine, she discovers
that freedom, friendship, trust, and love each have a price far
greater than she ever imagined.
