"Fight 'til she sinks, boys. Don't give up the ship! Burn her."
James Lawrence's command, spoken as his final fighting words in the historic 1813 battle between the USS Chesapeake and the HMS Shannon, would endure as the motto of the U.S. Navy. He lost the battle, however, and a large portion of the Chesapeake was recycled by the ship breakers of Portsmouth, England, until her timbers gave form and size to a new water mill in the village of Wickham. Almost two hundred years later, the old mill sat derelict, an eyesore. What was it made of ? Where had it come from? Why should it be preserved? It was then that the sails of a long-forgotten fighting ship were seemingly unfurled along the Meon River in the County of Hampshire, and the old navy frigate--having crossed the waters of America, Canada and England--set off on the third century of her enduring journey.

I like this book and would recommend it to other mental health professionals.. Originally Reviewed For: Bodice Rippers, Femme Fatales and Fantasy
Devil's Moon is Book Two in Amanda Scott's Border Nights Series and once again treats us to a Scottish History lesson wrapped up in well developed and believable characters.
If you are looking for a Scottish Historical that walks that line between fact and fiction, Amanda Scott remains one of the best out there. A right side that seems to be made of cheap PC clip art.
It doesn't help every time the book gets to a core idea, that it glosses over it as if it is obvious, without explaining the detail. The book I recieved is not the same as the picture. It is understandable. She saved my life and continues to do so every day.. As I read, I felt so much compassion for that little child and all that she endured emotionally and physically. Excellent. Anyway, "Orange Fingertips" is a supernatural thrill ride that you
