520 In work of narrative nonfiction filled with romance and
high seas adventure, a historian and journalist charts the
life of Sarah Kidd, who secretly aided and abetted her
infamous husband, pirate Captain Kidd, from within the
strictures of polite society in seventeenth- and
eighteenth-century New York.
520 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
