Prisoner of Wallabout Bay - Jane Hulse - Bog

A young woman's daring quest to free the ... PRISONER OF WALLABOUT BAY

Sarah Barrett has only two choices ... She can bow to her mother's nagging and marry a handsome young lawyer who is well-connected to the British military occupying New York. Or she can stick to her inky grind as a lowly apprentice at a newspaper where her foul-mouthed, ill-tempered boss keeps assigning her stories on ladies' hair trends instead of the Revolutionary War intrigue she so wants to cover. Sarah's relentless digging uncovers a story that nobody wants to even talk about, no less print. The British have set up decaying prison ships in the waters off New York. Risking everything, Sarah fights to expose rampant cruelty and wretched conditions, and in the process just happens to find love.
