About this listen
On the verge of becoming a spinster at twenty-three in colonial Nova Scotia, Submit Leete yields to parental pressure to marry a British Captain more than twice her age, but when he dies and she marries his young protégé too soon afterwards, her young stepdaughter Mary suspects the worst and vows revenge.
Was his death an accident or murder?
Mary sets out to prove that Submit and her new husband were motivated by lust and greed to end her father's life and steal his fortune. Dogged by this quest, she traces clues deep into the past hoping to destroy their lives, just as hers was destroyed.
In the face of Mary's vendetta and the obstacles imposed on women by the norms of her time, Submit pursues her own hopeful dreams for success, equality and independence.
Submit and her younger sister experience difficult cultural forces restraining women to hearth and home. They live at a time when women were not welcome in a man's world of education or business, making their struggle to find independence a difficult journey against the tide.
