Any Port in a Storm: Untold Stories of the American Revolution - Book 1

Any Port in a Storm marks the first book in the Untold Stories of the American Revolution, in which Oliver Woodbridge narrates a harrowing tale of patriotism, humility, and survival. Having never before left the woods and harbors of his native Rhode Island—but eager to do his part for the fledgling Colonies—young Mr. Woodbridge throws himself naively and wholeheartedly into a gun smuggling operation that takes him from Newport to the neglected English island of Nassau, and then back into the harsh waters of the North Atlantic. Along the way, he meets the mysterious turncoat Captain Selwyn Llywelyn of the Royal Navy, who delivers the guns into his possession; the self-serving merchant Captain Wick, whom he must trust to help him prove the new route; the enigmatic Lady Kezia Coffin, who shows him just how slippery the smuggling trade can truly be; and perhaps most importantly, a few individuals who challenge his notion of Colonial identity and freedom.Equal parts adventure, moral quagmire, and story of personal revolution, Any Port in a Storm fires the opening salvo of an untold struggle that unfolded during the early, messy, violent days of the Revolution—when we first discovered and explored our American soul.
