Margaret Jordan: Mistress of the Mutiny is the harrowing and unforgettable true story of a defiant Irishwoman who defied the empire, the ocean, and the expectations of her time. Born Margaret Croke in County Carlow and shaped by the tragedy of the 1798 Irish Rebellion, she rose from hardship to hope, from famine to forbidden romance. With her husband Edward Jordan, the fisherman, rebel, and outlaw, Margaret fled across the Atlantic to the rugged shores of Nova Scotia. But with debt mounting, desperation growing, and mutiny brewing aboard a schooner named after her daughters, Margaret's story turned bloody. Charged with piracy and murder, she faced a world that wanted to forget women like her ever existed. Yet her strength endured. With deep historical accuracy and a beating human heart, this novel spans a continent and a conscience.
This book includes a detailed timeline separating fact from folklore, because Margaret Jordan's true story is as compelling as any legend.
"Margaret Jordan is the pirate tale we didn't know we were missing. My heart broke a half dozen times, but I laughed more than I cried. She haunts the shore, and the soul." -Canadian Readers' Quarterly
