Matilda of Argyll

As Matilda Campbell's story begins in 1638, this high-spirited and intelligent nineteen-year-old Scot is unwilling to accept society's rules and barriers regarding gender and class. Her penchant for independent thinking will take her far--eventually across the ocean to Jamestown, Virginia--but at what cost? There, she will witness race and class distinction of a manner she could never have imagined.
