HelpaBitchOut:EvenPeersNeedHelp

Senetra, Countess Knobbersley, needs help with a book that, well, sounds just heartbreaking:

I need some help finding a book that I read sometime between 1989 and 1991. It was an Elizabethan historical with a noble heroine and the hero was a fisherman, and amazingly, he was not revealed to be noble at the end of the book. The heroine's brother married her off the the hero maybe because of a debt, and while she resisted at first, they were happy. They had a daughter who they named Anjelica, but she dies after being bitten by a rat while they were out fishing. I think the brother even tries to marry the heroine off to someone else later in the book. The ending has the H/H on a ship to America, and Sir Walter Raleigh may even make an appearance.

Help me, Smart Bitches, you're my only hope!

Senetra, Countess Knobbersley.
Does this ring any bells for y'all?

I still have this book in my collection from 1985! It’s RIDE THE SAVAGE SEA by Mallory Burgess.

Happy to help a Bitch out :).

And guessing it in one yields Le Smart Bitche Title. Stay tuned, Madame Frost.

So glad I still had it, Senetra! This has motivated me to send in my own “Help a Bitch out” request for a book that I read at least ten years ago, and can’t remember what it was. Nor do I still have it, because my husband during one of our (many) moves, “accidentally” threw away a huge box of my books. You know I love the man, since he’s still alive.

Sarah, wow, I can call myself Le Smart Bitche now? The New Year is looking up! :D
