Bound by Sally Gun
ning
Set in the years preceding the American Revolution, Bound is an extraordinary novel about courage and independence as readers follow the story of a little girl who arrives in the American Colonies an orphan. Quickly indentured into servitude, she grows up in a caring home until she is sixteen when she is thrust into a world of unwelcome sexual turmoil from her new master, the husband of the young woman she has grown up with as practically a sister. She seeks sanctuary from a sympathetic widow in a nearby village and feels freedom for the first time, but all is not as it seems as her life and newfound independence are challenged by her past.
