Beschreibung
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.

Über den Autor
Linda Collison's composite career includes critical care and emergency nursing, teaching skydiving, volunteer firefighting, and writing. With her husband, Bob Russell, she has sailed thousands of nautical miles, many of them aboard their sailboat Topaz. The three weeks they spent as voyage crewmembers aboard HM Bark Endeavour, a replica of Captain James Cook's ship, sparked her interest in maritime history and inspired the acclaimed Young Adult novel Star-Crossed (Alfred A Knopf; 2006) which evolved into Barbados Bound; Book 1 of the Patricia MacPherson's Nautical Adventure Series, adult historical fiction.
