I loved this book. I don't want to accidentaly give anything way, so here is what's wrote on the back of the book;
"Perhaps the brawling colonies would have been safer for a plainer girl, one more demure and less accomplished in langueage and manner. But CHarity Woodstock was gloriously beautiful with pale gold hair and topaz eyes--and she was headed for trouble. She was accused of witchcraft by the man who had attacked her. She was whisked from the stake by a highwayman in whose arm she found joy but no sanctuary. Fate flung her from t he manor of a Dutch patroon to the simple hut of a Quaker, from pirate ship to plantation. Beauty might have been her downfall, but Charity Woodstock had a reckless passion to live and a fine determination to give herself only for love. She would challenge this new world --and win."

Perhaps she was too beautiful!
Perhaps the brawling colonies would have been safer for a plainer girl, one more demure and less accomplished in language and manner.
But Charity Woodstock was gloriously beautiful with pale gold hair and topaz eyes-and she was headed for trouble. She was accused of witchcraft by the man who attacked her. She was whisked from the stake by a highwayman in whose arms she found joy but no sanctuary.
Fate flung her from the manor of a Dutch patroon to the simple hut of a Quaker, from a pirate ship to plantation. Beauty might have been her downfall, but Charity Woodstock had a reckless passion to live and a fine determination to give herself only for love. She would challenge this new world and win.
