A Sweeping Novel of Courage, Hardship and Redemption Spanning oceans and continents, Stenoshe takes readers on a rollicking journey of discovery set amidst the rancor of 18th-century colonial unrest. Richmond Connelly, a womanizing son of Southern plantation society, must make a hasty exit after shooting a peer in a duel. He ends up in Norfolk, Virginia, casting his lot with a seditious investment group where he trades regret for adversity. Smuggling, spying on the British, and illegally acquiring guns and ammunition in the midst of the French and Indian War are enough to get Richmond a walk to the gallows. Then he spearheads the illegal settlement of a land grant west of the Alleghany mountains-an action that threatens to lead to a devastating confrontation. On top of that, Connelly must try to protect the honor and safety of his two charges-a brother and sister who were cruelly sold into slavery by their siblings back in England. The troubles mount when Jediah Peach, a handsome British rapscallion with a mysterious occupation, arrives on the scene. What happens next sets all of their individual trajectories on a collision course that will change their lives forever-if they can survive long enough. This vividly imagined novel mixes real-life history with exciting drama that will keep readers guessing until the very last page.
