Description
Set against the backdrop of a young nation struggling to define its identity, Miss Blue Jacket traces the remarkable life of Frances Lloyd Garrison, mother of the renowned abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. From New Brunswick to New England to Baltimore, Frances navigates a world shaped by war, trade disruption, disease, and slavery. Her steadfast faith and resilience sustain her through through profound loss and separation, ultimately helping to shape the conscience of her surviving son, William-who would go on to become one of the most uncompromising voices in the American abolitionist movement. In Miss Blue Jacket, the forgotten story of Frances Lloyd Garrison emerges from the shadows of history. This powerful historical novel is a tribute to the women who shape great men, even when history forgets their names.
