Book Description
Can Helen and Nathaniel put aside their differences long enough to fall in love? Helen Crofton longs for a chance to show her new friends in the colonies everything she’s capable of. When she’s elected president of her charitable society, she convinces the other ladies that selling tarts is the best way for them to raise funds. There are just two small problems: Helen doesn’t actually know how to cook or run a business. Still, she’s certain she doesn’t need the advice of the rudest man she’s ever had the misfortune to meet, no matter that he’s a successful businessman (and the handsomest man she knows). Nathaniel Carter spent most of his life on the sea, working his way up from cabin boy to ship owner. He’s perfectly happy with his simple life and he certainly doesn’t need a woman to disrupt it. Despite his intentions to have nothing to do with Helen, Nathaniel finds himself offering to help his friend’s beautiful, confusing sister-in-law with her business problems, even though he has problems of his own to contend with; he must smuggle a shipload of stolen tea into Philadelphia or he’ll never be able to pay back his investors. As Helen and Nathaniel work together, they’re shocked to discover the spark of attraction growing between them. Once the governor’s greedy son takes notice of their activities, Helen stands to lose all the money the society has earned while Nathaniel could lose his livelihood–or even his life! After some poor choices land a friend in jail for murder, they must learn to trust each other in order to save their friend and their fledgling relationship. No matter how much they’ve grown to care for each other, can two such different people ever make things work?

How will Patience choose between a charming politician and a dashing patriot? Patience Hayes is desperate to finish an important legal case for her father, but her family and friends require a great deal of attention. Although her time is precious, when a handsome, patriotic printer asks to court her, she admires him enough to give him a chance. At the same time, she starts working closely with Gilbert Brand, the brother of a man accused of treason. Although Gilbert doesn’t share Patience’s political ideals, his kindness and humor readily charms her into sharing her heart. Gilbert Brand has spent much of his life struggling for basic necessities. When he lands a position as a Delaware delegate to the Second Continental Congress, he’s determined to use the position to elevate himself into a higher station in life–or at least make sure he never misses a meal again. He’s certain that if he can marry an heiress, he’ll finally have the life he’s always dreamed of. When he offers to help a lawyer’s daughter with his brother’s appeal, he never imagined he’d find himself falling in love with clever and beautiful Patience. Her encouragement makes him start to feel he’s already worth something. The attraction between Patience and Gilbert is undeniable, but neither is sure that’s the only thing that matters to a lasting relationship. Patience has to choose between a man who can give her the life she wants and a man she’s not sure she can live without, while Gilbert has to decide if a life very different from the one he’s imagined will bring him true happiness. Can he prove to Patience that he’s worthy of her trust before it’s too late?

Dark, satirical stories such as Eileen Gunn’s “Stable Strategies for Middle Management” and the disturbing horror of James Tiptree Jr.’s “The Screwfly Solution” reveal the charged intensity at work in the field. Including new, emerging voices like Nnedi Okorafor and featuring international contributions from Angelica Gorodischer and many more, Sisters of the Revolution seeks to expand the ideas of both contemporary fiction and feminism to new fronts. Moving from the fantastic to the futuristic, the subtle to the surreal, these stories will provoke thoughts and emotions about feminism like no other book available today.
