Selling Martha Quinn

By Eleanor Caldwell

Martha Quinn's life takes an unexpected and harrowing turn. Born and raised in England, she has always been at the mercy of menfirst sold into a loveless marriage arranged by her father and then sold again to a new husband, Thomas, who brings her to the New World. Though Thomas treats her with kindness, Martha's life remains a series of transactions, until everything changes when she is taken by Delaware Indians and traded into the world of the Iroquois.

Her time with the Iroquois is unlike anything she has ever known. Martha learns their ways, finds a sense of belonging she never imagined, and earns the tribe's respect as a sister to Tala, one of the great Iroquois people. However, when Martha is eventually reunited with Thomas and their young son, Richard, her return to colonial society is fraught with suspicion and judgment. The town council questions her loyalty, her morality, and even her right to be a mother.

Selling Martha Quinn is a powerful tale of survival, identity, and resilience. Martha must now confront not only the memories of her captivity but also the suffocating expectations of a society that no longer sees her as one of their own. As she fights to protect her family and assert her independence, Martha is forced to navigate the gap between the life she knew in England, her time among the Iroquois, and the harsh realities of colonial America.

In this gripping historical novel, Martha's journey explores the complexities of womanhood, freedom, and the search for self-worth in a world where women's choices are rarely theirs.

Perfect for readers who enjoy rich historical detail, strong female characters, and stories of transformation and empowerment.
