Why read this book?
In these pages, if you dare to look, you will meet and get to know a very unusual woman who will change or challenge how you look at the world and even your own life.
Shannon competes at the highest and most intense levels in traditional male enterprises. Yet, throughout she remains very womanly, lustful, loyal, humorous, nurturing, and competent human being, who also loves men.
The mid-19th century, our American setting for Shannon's adventures, was overtly very sexist and racist. Today, legislation has repressed most overt sexism and racism, and yet traces linger in our souls. The people around Shannon struggle with life and self, as much as we do. Shannon's struggle for recognition and self-fulfillment amid hand-to-hand combat, leading life--on-the-line battles with cannon and sabers, and intense sexual encounters, is both rejected and embraced by all levels of society yet drives her growth as a fine strong woman.
