Pursuit of Happiness
P
ursuit of Happiness, by Sheldon Greene, grabs readers from the first page and never lets go—all the way to the exciting finale. It’s the American Revolution at its lowest ebb. General George Washington convinces Philadelphia Quaker Joshua Rutledge to sail to a British Caribbean island, locate a desperately needed shipment of French arms, and convince a Jewish ship owner to run the British blockade. Rutledge meets and falls for Amelia Sayre, the beautiful, unconventional wife of a brutal and possessive slave holder. War and love—Greene covers it all in this meticulously wrought, fact-based novel. Rich in detail, spiced with romance and action, larded with trenchant dialogue and an abundance of interesting, well-rounded characters, this fact-based page-turner never falters as it moves to a stunning climax. Fans of Patrick O’Brian, Bernard Cornwell, or Daphne Du Maurier will love it.
“… a Revolutionary War Gone with the Wind …a wonderful story…”
Teri Davis, Bestsellers World
“Greene’s impeccable sense of novelistic pacing, characterization, and plot vividly demonstrates his skill as a literary craftsman, and creates an especially entertaining and memorable read.”
