About the Book

It is 1793, and the Reign of Terror rages in France. Rich and poor, good and bad, innocent and guilty, go to their death on the guillotine in an endless stream of victims. The lucky few are able to escape to England, but there are others that come to England also, and they are bent on murder. In rural England, young Amy Sibbridge is far removed from the horrors of the world as she lives quietly with her father, mother, and younger sisters, Emma and Mattie. Then one day her calm is shattered and she is plunged into a troubling quest to find out her real identity when an old seaman delivers a strange satchel with her name engraved on it. Inside is a locket with a picture of a baby, an old yellowed newspaper from twenty years before, and most troubling of all, an unfinished letter with a warning of imminent danger. Then handsome and charming Sir Benjamin Anstruther suddenly turns up living on the adjacent estate. He seems friendly and helpful, but there are mysterious goings-on at his house, and he has strange visitors day and night. Amy comes to fear that he might not be as innocent as he appears. As she searches to find out who she really is, her peace turns to fear because someone is trying to kill her, and she doesn't know who or why. Join Amy in her urgent and dangerous quest to uncover the secret of the Captain's Daughter.
About the Author: Minnie Simpson is a pseudonym, a pen name. Minnie Simpson was the name of the writer's grandmother, whom the writer wished to honor by naming her the author of The Captain's Daughter. She was a remarkable lady. Born long ago in Dunfermline, when she was in school, Andy Carnegie visited her classroom. At one time he was the richest man in the world. Also, she loved to tell the story of how, when the author's grandfather was courting her, he rode his horse into one of the finest restaurants in Glasgow, because she was inside. It much impressed her, and some other people were very likely impressed as well. During the war in South Africa, he served with the Queen's Own 3rd Glasgow Yeomanry. While on scout patrol, his horse fell into a trap dug by the enemy and he was injured. On his return home, he was honored by being made an Appointed Burgess of the City of Glasgow. In 1914, he died as a result of his war injury. Now a widow, Minnie worked on passenger ships during the 1920s. On one occasion she struggled to try and save the life of a desperately ill young woman because the ship's doctor was too drunk to help. About that time she met Sam, her second husband. He was the perfect husband for Minnie. Sam had been torpedoed during the First World War while serving as a radio operator. Minnie lived to a good age and left this world a better place.
