Captains of the Renown
About this ebook
Abraham, an English shipwright, and his wife Yvette confront childlessness and poverty in mid-1700s London until help comes from his old friend, Captain Shirley. Unspeakable acts change Shirley’s life and transform Abraham, at a dear cost.

In this compelling story, historical and fictional characters’ morality and villainy collide with the final unexpected revelations rocking their destinies.
