Fred Wharton's New Book "Adrienne's Youth" is The First In A Series of Adventures Following a Tenacious Woman and Her Life At Sea
Recent release "Adrienne's Youth: Book 1 Adrienne's Adventures" from Page Publishing author Fred Wharton follows Adrienne, a young woman born to parents who owned a sugar plantation in the Caribbean in 1740, and her riveting journey from being the apple of her father's eye to being the ire of the British Royal Navy.
GARY, Texas, Feb. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Fred Wharton, a retired regional sales manager of a security consultancy firm, has completed his new book "Adrienne's Youth": the initial book of a series which follows Adrienne, whose life is torn asunder when she is forced to run away from her vengeful mother, and encounters a series of cruel men as she strives to reinvent herself.
"This book is not intended for children, or the squeamish," Fred Wharton said of his book. "After years of torment at her mother's hands, Adrienne runs away and has run-ins with two evil men who rape and torment her. But she survives by killing her captors and taking over their ships. It's this action which sets her life of adventure in motion."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Fred Wharton's story transports readers to the days of eighteenth-century European colonialism, highlighting the harshness of overseers, the perseverance required of slaves to survive, and the kindness that can be found in the owners and the owned alike.
Now with ships under her command and no life left for her on land, Adrienne turns to a life at sea. On the waters, she becomes a privateer for the Spanish and the French, but to the British she is a dreaded pirate.
To read this first book of Adrienne's adventures, readers can purchase "Adrienne's Youth" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.
