After abandoning the family, Kate Bonnet sets out to find and
reprimand her pirate father, Stede, who is being targeted by multiple
figures including Blackbeard. She meets various people along her
journey who help make the trek worth her while.
Kate Bonnet is the fictional daughter of the renowned pirate, Stede
Bonnet. In Stockton's interpretation, she's a steadfast young woman
whose father left the family to fend for themselves. Despite personal
objections, Kate travels to find Stede and bring him back home.
Throughout her venture, she encounters many people some of whom become
traveling companions. She also crosses paths with a Naval officer who
plans to capture Stede and barter his freedom for Kate's hand in
marriage.
Kate Bonnet: The Romance of a Pirate's Daughter is an entertaining mix
of historical fiction. Despite the title, the story is not a traditional
romance. The heroine has agency and ideals that go beyond courtship and
marriage. She's dedicated to her family and righting her father's many
wrongs.
With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of Kate Bonnet: The Romance of a Pirate's Daughter is
both modern and readable.
