In the first volume, the crew takes shape by accident and serendipity. They are seeking a way to navigate-both literally and figuratively-the challenges of making their way through the rapidly changing political, social, and cultural realities of the 1770s in British Colonial America. Their success is neither planned nor consistent. In fact, that lack of awareness of what is happening around them leads to their entrapment in the conflict itself. They find that they have no choice but to enlist their energies into the rebellion as privateers.
The story continues as the "revolutionary storm rages." Change swirls around them like a gyre. They must prepare for their new role in the war, but they need crew, direction, new skills, sanctuary, and leadership. They bring very little to the rebellion at the outset and face a dizzying array of choices and challenges.
In some important ways, these realities parallel the choices faced by contemporary young adults. The characters in the story encounter questions of purpose, tolerance, comfort with violence, justice, and collective decision-making. They begin to refine their awareness of the world around them, drawn by experience to consider the important issues that thoughtful people recognize-whether consciously or not-as matters that shape their lives. Some readers may see the trajectory of the story tilting toward a deeper concern for the role of women and other marginalized groups in Colonial society. This is important, because history as it has often been told has neglected these perspectives.
Understanding these young adults as they try to make their way through the unknown and into the future is a challenge-for us and for each of them. Choices, often very limited ones, steer them toward consequences and outcomes altogether unforeseen.
If one stands on the deck of a ship, the wake off the stern reveals that the sea has been churned. It heaves with bubbles and foam as a consequence of the ship's passage through the water. It sends ripples outward beyond the dimensions of the ship, changing the appearance of the sea's surface. One can only speculate how far the impact reaches and whether, below the surface, unseen change is taking place. Most remarkably, with the passage of time and distance, the sea seems to erase the impact-the wake disappears. To a casual observer, it may seem that the consequences of the ship's passage have been swallowed up by the sea's natural form.
Did something important happen? Or did something trivial happen? Should we expect the sea-or history-to tell us?
The crew of the PYGG is about to face and journey into a raging storm, as dark, violent, erratic, and uncertain as any that nature can conjure. For them, it is a rebellion whose creation, conduct, and purpose are unclear. Yet they are already in its midst. Like the wake that seems inevitably to vanish, will their lives, their energy, and their sacrifices disappear without a trace?
Their experience is transformed by necessity. They confront the realities faced by women trying to manage their colonial roles while also meeting the challenges brought about by rebellion.

She has an MFA in Art from the University of Houston, TX. and she is an Art (drawing) Professor and the Director of The Art School at DePaul University.

Droit de rétractation
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
