In "Patrick MacPherson," set in late October 1762, young Patricia Kelley MacPherson navigates life as a qualified surgeon’s mate aboard His Majesty’s frigate Richmond, all while assuming the identity of a deceased man. After surviving the siege of Havana, she hopes for peace in New York, but the risks of her secret life loom large. As she becomes skilled in surgery, the threat of her true identity being discovered could upend her newfound presence in the maritime world. This gripping tale unfolds in the second book of the Patricia MacPherson Nautical Adventure Series, blending historical fiction with a compelling narrative of resilience and deception.
