About this ebook
One of Book Riot's top 100 Must-Read Books of American Historical Fiction!
Nancy Turner burst onto the literary scene with her hugely popular novels These Is My Words, Sarah's Quilt, and The Star Garden. Now, Turner has written the novel she was born to write, this exciting and heartfelt story of a woman struggling to find herself during the tumultuous years preceding the American Revolution.
The year is 1729, and Resolute Talbot and her siblings are captured by pirates, taken from their family in Jamaica, and brought to the New World. Resolute and her sister are sold into slavery in colonial New England and taught the trade of spinning and weaving. When Resolute finds herself alone in Lexington, Massachusetts, she struggles to find her way in a society that is quick to judge a young woman without a family. As the seeds of rebellion against England grow, Resolute is torn between following the rules and breaking free. Resolute's talent at the loom places her at the center of an incredible web of secrecy that helped drive the American Revolution. Heart-wrenching, brilliantly written, and packed to the brim with adventure, My Name is Resolute is destined to be an instant classic.

Reviews for My Name Is Resolute
20 ratings4 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Incredible, unique story of the journey traveled by a little girl from Jamaica. The description of her innocence and what she was forced to endure after being kidnapped by pirates was so moving. It read exactly how an innocent, protected child would think and feel. As she ages and experiences motherhood and good times as well as heartbreaking made it hard to put down.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5EXCELLENT EXCELLENT BOOK! Never a dull moment. Exactly what I like
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed the book but thought it ran on longer than needed. It seemed to go on and on as if the author couldn’t figure out how to end it.
