Kidnapped in France and brought to America as an indentured servant, a young woman takes on the brutal merchant king of New York’s East River waterfront…

Illness suddenly deprives 17-year-old Sarah Da Silva and her older brother Jacob of a mother. Before Sarah has come to terms with that loss, her merchant father grows frail and increasingly desperate in the face of impending bankruptcy. On the rainy night their father scours the docks of Bordeaux, France, to make his final bid to save his family, his children are kidnapped and forced onto a ship bound for New York City where they’ll be separated and sold to the highest bidder as indentured labor.

Purchased by a grotesque merchant whose wealth, backed by a team of henchmen, allows him to dominate the chaotic East River docks, Sarah strikes back the only way she can. Vowing to never allow him to put his hands on her again, she presses a knife to his fat neck. She demands her freedom, a roof over her head and the means to start a business. Her leverage? Knowledge obtained on the voyage that would bring the big man to his knees forever. He yields to her demands but privately swears to become her worst nightmare.

Very disappointing ending. I was enjoying the book but hated the ending.

In short, excellent escapism in an immersive setting. After an unpromising start, I came to really enjoy this book. By an unpromising start, I mean the page-long scene-setting first chapter that finishes with not so much a cliffhanger we are not yet invested enough in anybody to feel tension as a classic clickbait line that robbed the moment of any seriousness it could have had:Throughout their lives Sarah and Jacob came to believe they were never truly ready for what happened next.Once one is

This is a great historical story. The history is accurate and the story and characters are incredible. The story starts with a brother and sister who are kidnapped and sold into slavery. Sarah decides she will not continue to be a slave to the evil merchant who bought her. With knife in hand, she bargains for her freedom and begins a journey with the merchant seeking revenge. Great flow to the story and development of Sarah and Jacob. The story pulls the reader in and has you routing for these

Wayne Clarks historical adventure novel, That Woman: Beating the odds in colonial New York, is an exciting, suspense-filled journey to another time and place, but one that still mirrors many of the troubles faced in our current world. From the very beginning, you will grow to feel compassion for Sarah and Jacob Da Silva and their father. Dealing with a loss like the death of your mother is certainly hard enough, but add to that the financial ruin of the family and even being sold into human
