Event Details

A True Account: Hannah Masury's Sojourn Amongst the Pyrates, Written by Herself, by New York Times bestselling author and Southwest Florida Reading Festival presenter Katherine Howe, is a daring first-hand account of one young woman's unbelievable adventure as one of the most terrifying sea rovers of all time

In Boston, as the Golden Age of Piracy comes to a bloody close, Hannah Masury – bound out to service at a waterfront inn since childhood – is ready to take her life into her own hands. When a man is hanged for piracy in the town square and whispers of a treasure in the Caribbean spread, Hannah is forced to flee for her life, disguising herself as a cabin boy in the pitiless crew of the notorious pirate Edward "Ned" Low. To earn the freedom to choose a path for herself, Hannah must hunt down the treasure and change the tides.
