Trepanned

By Bill Doc Roberts

Trepanned Nora Fitzgerald, a young Irish lass, is kidnaped by English unsavory criminals and sent to Barbadoes as an indentured servant. She finds there is no difference on the island between a slave and an indentured Required tending to tobacco growing and providing children of mixed breeds for the brothels of the military, she falls in love with a young king in his own country. He's murdered for a crime he didn't commit. Barbarous treatment continues as the sugar plant is brought to the island. Determined to live a better life she educates herself to its growth and finally to establish a factory for making Kill Devil. The owners take pride in what she has accomplished and give her full rein, until her charges are remiss in their care of the plants. It is back to the old plantation of the rule and whip. Coupled with another, her Irish lover comes. She is ready to give all. He is as cold as a northern storm. Frustrated with his lack of love and compassion, she refuses to leave the island. A new overseer shows up. He is the one who drugged and kidnaped her and her children. He caused their death. It was with pishogues and knitting needles that do him in. She rushes to the shore and gets in the boat. They are leaving Barbadoes forever. Not so. A pirate ship intervenes. People are not always what they seem to be.
