Tidewater — Margaret Maitland

A FLAME IN THE HEART

Beautiful, red-haired Maggie Langdon came to Virginia as an indentured servant in the hold of a leaky ship sailing out of Dublin Bay. Brutalized by a drunken landowner who was above the law, flight to the Colonies was the only way out. Still in her teens when she left the poverty of her native Ireland, she was to be little better than a slave in Virginia. But Maggie Langdon had a dream. Some day, no matter what, she would be a lady, respected and very rich. There was nothing she wouldn't do to make her dream come true. Nothing at all.
