Jerusha, a widowed barmaid in the upper Massachusetts Colony, was feisty and could handle herself, but she was also a bit of a klutz. This was not necessarily a bad thing when she stumbled into the arms of a mysterious ship captain, hardened by the early battles of the American Revolution. Yet, beneath that gruff exterior, she thought she detected something more in the sea-dog. Something...almost familiar.Praise for Bittersweet Tavern:Bittersweet is a book to curl up with if you have a few hours to kill and are in it for the long haul...the story quickly finds its momentum and, for a true history buff, the payoff is worth the buildup. —Manhattan Book ReviewThe novel expertly and vividly brings to life the ordinary street details of Colonial America...Copperstone does an excellent job delineating both action and comedic banter. —Historical Novel Society Reviews
