Summary

Captain Kidd was one of the most notorious pirates to ever prowl the seas. Few know that he had an accomplice who enabled his plundering and helped him outpace his enemies: his wife, Sarah Kidd. Geanacopoulos reconstructs Sarah Kidd's life: Love, treasure, motherhood and survival. Sarah not only survived her husband, but went on to live a successful and productive life as one of New York's most prominent citizens. -- adapted from jacket
