Though it is fiction, it is based heavily on history. It is a love story of sorts and a portrait of life on Cape Cod and seafarers of the early 1700's. The Salem Witch Trials were still fresh in the minds of the Colonials. The author includes an appendix of factual events and a glossary. Also a bibliography and a list of places to visit. And a recipe for Ship's Biscuits! (reminds me of the dough "clay" we used to make in elementaty school - and in fact I believe it's the same stuff!! - imagine eating that - with mold and weevils!!) It's a Romantic tale - and ultimately a very sad tale, but if you like historical fiction I recommend this book. --------------------

Ahoy, Lizzie!

I live on Cape Cod and, would you believe, when I was in high school, Barry Clifford was a PE teacher there.

I am so grateful you fashioned such a wonderful story about our real life scurge of the Atlantic, "Black Sam" Bellamy and I read about your book in the Cape Cod Sunday Times.

so naturally, I immediately requested it from the library.
I think the book's strong point is your fictional/legendary Mariah Hallet. I was there in the stark devil's land right along with her.

I would be honored to have my humble review added to your website, Elizabeth!
And perhaps you'll have Karen's review shortly.
