Synopsis
In this captivating tale, Eugenia Price paints a vivid picture of the tumultuous historic and political events that shaped the life of Maria Evans, a remarkably independent woman in the colonial south. Born in Charles Town, South Carolina, Maria, a skilled midwife, accompanied her first husband, British soldier David Fenwick, when his regiment fought the Spanish in Cuba. When Spain agreed to give all of Florida in exchange for the city of Havana, Maria (who became known as Maria) and her husband were forced to relocate to the newly British garrison town of St. Augustine, Florida. Faced with challenges that would unnerve a less resourceful woman, Maria made a name for herself—developing and enhancing her position with influential citizens of St. Augustine. Eventually marrying three times, Maria proved herself to be an extraordinary woman—for any day or time.
