Book Description:
An ocean voyage of
unimaginable consequences
Not every thirteen-year-old girl is accused of murder, brought to trial, and found guilty. But I was just such a girl, and my story is worth relating even if it did happen years ago. Be warned, however: If strong ideas and action offend you, read no more. Find another companion to share your idle hours. For my part I intend to tell the truth as I lived it.

This was my favorite book when I was 12. I would recomend it. It is a great story of a strong young woman thrown into a crazy circumstance. She begins a well bred young lady and a passenger on a sailing vessel going across the Atlantic. By the end, she is a completly different woman.
It's an excellent read.

Jeanie M. from LONGMONT, CO wrote on 2/19/2007...A spellbinding tale of intrique and murder on the high seas.
"A spellbinding tale of intrigue and murder on the high seas," the cover says. And indeed it is. A young girl is the only passenger - and the only female - on a long Atlantic crossing on an 1832 sailing ship with an evil captain and a mutinous crew. Good story.
