Star-Crossed

The world is at war when orphaned Patricia stows away on a West Indian-bound merchantman contracted to carry gunpowder for the British forts. This rash act will change her life beyond anything she could imagine as Patricia becomes Patrick to survive during the Seven Years War. First published by Alfred A. Knopf in 2006, Star-Crossed was a 2007 New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age and inspired two follow up books, Surgeon's Mate and Rhode Island Rendezvous.
