Sacred Ground

Two aristocratic, English women are abducted from London and secretly spirited aboard a derelict convict ship that is bound for Jamestown, Virginia in 1775. Lady Quillian Fenn and Lady Caroline Whitmore are to be illegally sold as indentured servants once they reach the colonies. Recently betrothed, Quillian wants more than anything to return home to her fiancé, Captain Adrian Whitmore. Quillian and Adrian’s mother, Caroline, endure with great courage and a growing faith in God, the voyage that nearly claims their lives. They arrive just as a growing rebellion amongst the colonists is about to be unleashed.
