Reseña del libro "My Name is ona Judge: An Absolutely Gripping Historical Novel (en Inglés)"
New Hampshire, 1796. "My name is Ona Judge, and I escaped from the household of the President of the United States. I was the favored maid of George and Martha Washington, but they deemed me a slave and thought me property, and I hear ten dollars is offered as reward for my capture. Now I must write the truth that I have lived, and tell my story..." Chincoteague, Virginia, present day. Rain soaks Tessa Scott as she runs from her car to the old, vine-covered property she has been called to survey. She's too busy to accept a new job, but doing this favor for the grandmother of her childhood sweetheart delays a painful decision she must make about a future with her controlling boyfriend. But when Tessa finds a tattered journal carefully hidden inside the house's ancient fireplace, the tragic story of how Ona was ripped from her mother's arms to live and work in the palatial Mount Vernon, and the heart-shattering betrayal that led her to risk her life and run, has Tessa spellbound. Could discovering this forgotten scandal at the heart of her nation's history force her to confront her own story? As she races to reach the final page, will anything prepare her for the desperate moment when Ona's captors find her again? Will it inspire Tessa to take ownership of her own life and set herself free? A completely heartbreaking tale of love, loss and redemption, based on an astonishing true story from the founding of America. Perfect for fans of Before We Were Yours, Marie Benedict and America's First Daughter. What readers are saying about Suzette D. Harrison: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "If I could increase the ratings on this I would...
