It'll take me a little while to sort through my final thoughts, but for now just know that: Another fantastic book by Turner.

The story ends in 1781 with her looking back at a life well lived, the Revolutionary war behind her now beloved adopted country. But by then I was already done. I read her book, "These is My Words" and liked it a lot so decided to try another one. The best book I've read in a long time....Nancy knows how to write an epic novel with characters you love, and hate, during a difficult time in history. When Resolute finds herself alone in Lexington, Massachusetts, she struggles to find her way in a society that is. The year is 1729, and Resolute Talbot and her siblings are captured by pirates, taken from their family in Jamaica, and brought to the New World. Do you enjoy a gripping adventure? "These Is My Words" has remained among the top of my favorite books (how is it possible to ever pick just one favorite?) She and her older sister, Patience, and older brother, August, are taken as slaves aboard ship, and from there the nightmare continues. Epic, over a course of 50 years.

Well written, well researched. Great read for a book club discussion . this is a heart-breaking and heart-mending type of book. I love historical fiction with a strong female protagonist, and Resolute was that. i started it a few weeks ago and had to put it down after a couple hundred pages--it almost felt too heavy. © 2003 - 2017 BookMovement, LLC. Resolute and her sister are sold into slavery in colonial New England and taught the trade of spinning and weaving. Unlike my daughter-in-law who reads the end of a book first (! She is sassy and irreverent but slowly she learns her old life is gone. My first 5 star book of 2016 and boy was it ever so good and exciting all the way from the beginning to the end.

this is a heart-breakin. Turner's historically authentic narration of "Resolute" is perfect, from the confused and frightened perspective of a child ripped from her home to the voice of the loyal wife, mother, and brave Patriot she would eventually become. My reaction to 'My Name is Resolute' is very similar to 'These is My Words" -- I enjoyed it, but I didn't love it. Welcome back. “Never forget, either of you, that there is always something greater than yourselves at work in the world. an excellent read. I had the same problem with 'These is My Words'.

Reminded me of the Outlander series. Woven with lyrical prose and striking truth, this is the gripping life story of a woman who suffered much, yet persevered to fight for love and liberty in the land that--at long last--she came to call home. I might not remember much of what took place in that epic novel, but I will ever remember how I felt as I read, how my heart ached with Sarah Prine's and how unsettling it was to return to this modern world after finishing the book. We’d love your help. Heart-wrenching, brilliantly written, and packed to the brim with adventure, My Name is Resolute is destined to be an instant classic. I love historical fiction with a strong female protagonist, and Resolute was that. In the 1729, seven year old Resolute is stolen from her parents plantation in Jamaica with some of the slaves who worked there. 5 stars. A young, spoiled girl living on a plantation in 1729 Jamaica is stolen away with her two siblings by pirates. My delay in writing this review isn't due to my finishing it nor my enthusiasm for the book.
Initial thoughts: I have decided that this is the best book that I've EVER read. If this book had not been for a book club I would have stopped reading it in the first 50 pages. I feel awful writing a not so great review, but I do want to be honest.

This is a story of survival, determination, wit, values and much more. Now, Turner has written the novel she was born to write, this exciting and heartfelt story of a woman struggling to find herself during the tumultuous ... Nancy Turner burst onto the literary scene with her hugely popular novels These Is My Words, Sarah’s Quilt, and The Star Garden.

between following the rules and breaking free. Nancy Turner knows how to tell a story. Resolute’s talent at the loom places her at the center of an incredible web of secrecy that helped drive the American Revolution. Heart-wrenching, brilliantly written, and packed to the brim with adventure, My Name is Resolute is destined to be an instant classic. A young, spoiled girl living on a plantation in 1729 Jamaica is stolen away with her two siblings by pirates. I was actually super nervous to pick up this book because These Is Ny Words is my most favorite book of all time, and Sarah’s Quilt and Star Garden were huge disappointments to me. It is breathtaking how it grabs you from the beginning and doesn't let go until the last page.

I loved all 600 plus pages of this book.

The story kept me riveted the entire time, and I grew to love so many of the characters. i started it a few weeks ago and had to put it down after a couple hundred pages--it almost felt too heavy. "My Name is Resolute" kept me up into the small hours of the morning reading, more than once! especially for those women, who fought in their own ways. Wish author was a GoodReads writer so I could send her email.

In the beginning I was a bit disenchanted as Resolute told lies and continued to ignore facts and wanted the things she could not have. Sold as an indentured ent to a Puritan family, captured by Indians, and so on. But here we are. Wow, I love historical fiction and this knocked my socks off.

It has been a while since I've read anything from the Revolutionary time period, and I don't know that I've read much in the decades leading up to it, so I really.

I dragged out reading it for almost two weeks, savoring each moment, reveling in the pages I had left before it ended. Another fantastic book by Turner.

and even though it was a library copy, i did find myself dog-earring pages (gasp!). since I read it years ago. The year is 1729, and Resolute Talbot and her siblings are captured by pirates, taken from their family in Jamaica, and brought to the New World. I took my time reading this historical fiction and think it is one that should stay on my shelves.

One of my all-time favorites. Recommended to book clubs by 1 of 1 members.

When Resolute finds herself alone in Lexington, Massachusetts, she struggles to find her way in a society that is quick to judge a young woman without a family. Read it ASAP! Great read for a book club discussion . This is so much richer, broader, historical than I expected!! As it was, I persevered and loved pieces of it, despised others, was glad to have been witness to some of the wonderful deep poignant moments that show the wisdom and depth and meaning behind all human experience, wished I could erase some of the things read from my mind and regretted the day I read them.

the entire household is asleep--because i stayed up way to late finishing this book. I've read all of Ms. Turner's books and enjoyed and recommend them all but this one is exceptional in it's scope.
