Maria, eBook Discovery Reviewer --Single Woman Overcomes Stereotypes to Manage Plantation in the Early America Romance Adventure, Bold Surrender, by Judith French-- In a time when women are seen and not heard, Ashley Morgan fights prejudice, nature, pirates, and the British Empire to hold on to her Maryland plantation, and her independence. And if success requires she hire a male overseer to ship her crops to England, she will find one willing to work for a woman.
