description: Anne My Pirate Story follows the volatile youth of an illegitimate child, misbegotten aristocrat, rebellious daughter, hot-tempered teen, and cutthroat pirate who pines for seafaring adventures, true love, and the lasting bonds of friendship. From her early days of enduring the abuses and cruelties from her blue-blooded classmates, Anne’s prodigal tale leads her through the primitive corridors of the human spirit and explores the perspective of “declaring war on the entire world.” Slip into the pirate-infested Caribbean waters of the 1700s and read the daunting story, inspired from historical accounts, of Anne Bonney, a pirate who disguised herself as a man and fought side-by-side with a notorious band of rogues that plundered ships around the Spanish Main. Author Jeffrey S. Williams provides insight into the intricacies of her relationships with the people closest to her—her mother and father, her guardian angel, Edward, her friend Mary and her husband James—and the important roles each of these people played in her life. Rife with intrigue, poignancy, and humor, Anne My Pirate Story is a vivid examination of a young woman’s odyssey from youth to adulthood as she seeks meaning and peace, eventually finding grace amid the darkest night of her searching soul.
