| Synopsis: |
A Heavy Chest of Dreams by Emmy Culley Charting the incredible life of Sushana Culley on her voyage from sheltered childhood to pyrate queen, this enticing yarn unravels life-changing adventures many of which the author has based on personal experiences in her own extraordinary life. Living a dangerous but thrilling existence in the sixteenth century Shana had to adapt to a male-dominated society. Disguised as a boy, the young orphan moved unnoticed through squalid streets. Gruesomely accurate accounts of torture, murder and sex give the reader realistic experiences of Tudor times. Finding herself at sea on a ship captained by an abusive bully Shana cheated death, turning her life around. Living amongst a rough, all-male crew the determined wench rose to become the most feared pyrate captain of all time. Joining forces with Irish pyrate queen, Grace O'Malley, Shana declared war on the English slave trade and was charged with treason by Queen Elizabeth. With her multi-cultural pyrate crew she sailed the known seas building up a vast fortune but the shadow of the noose always threatened.During her bi-sexual life she enjoyed many lovers but endured agonizing rapes one of which resulted in the birth of her adored son Patrick. |
