Tinker is adult alternate historical fiction with a dash of romance - a propulsive Whiskey Rebellion tale of defiance and rebellion, love, and divided loyalties on the early American frontier.
Pittsburgh, 1794. The people of western Pennsylvania suffer under a hefty tax on whiskey. When the local militia takes up arms against the hated tax collector, his estranged daughter finds herself caught in the crossfire.
Her safety threatened and her name in tatters, Caroline Neville begs her estranged father to present the farmers' case to the President and ask for relief. When he refuses, Caroline adopts a nom de guerre, submitting articles to the Gazette under the pseudonym Tom the Tinker. She calls for a peaceful gathering to coordinate a plea for the tax's repeal, hoping to turn the tide before her family's lives are lost.
Then she meets Tench, the reporter who prints her demands. He's part of the militia opposing the tax, and he has no idea she's Tom the Tinker or a Neville. The deeper they fall in love, the harder it is to tell him the truth. Meanwhile, Caroline's efforts for peace take a turn toward rebellion. As she faces losing her family, her home, and Tench, she must race to put it all right before she's charged with treason.
TINKER, adult alternate historical fiction set during the Whiskey Rebellion, is the latest release from Jennifer M. Lane, award-winning author of Of Metal and Earth, Downriver, and The Collected Stories of Ramsbolt.
