Full Description
Nancy Turner burst onto the literary scene with her hugely popular bestselling novel These Is My Words, followed by sequels Sarah's Quilt, and The Star Garden. Now, Turner has written the novel she was born to write. The year is 1729, and young Resolute Talbot and her siblings are captured by pirates and brought to the New World. Resolute and her sister are sold into slavery in 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's talent at the loom places her at the centre of an incredible web of secrecy that helped drive the American Revolution. Heartwrenching, brilliantly written, and packed to the brim with adventure, My Name is Resolute is destined to be an instant classic.
