The Diary of Essie Lassiter (The Essie Lassiter Trilogy Book 1)

In the runup to the Revolutionary War, a young English midwife is unsuspectingly thrown into the London Debtor’s Prison. With no prospect of retiring her debt, she becomes indentured to Aquila Wright, a wealthy mill owner in the British colony of Maryland. After saving Aquila's life and earning his admiration and trust, Essie faces her biggest challenge when she is asked to start the colony's first hospital.

The Diary of Essie Lassiter is a startling, first-person account of one woman’s impossible journey to overcome dire circumstances in an 18th century world dominated by pompous men.
