First Fury

First Fury is based on the true story of a woman transformed in her quest for vengeance. In 1848, anger drives Ann to sign on to a whaling ship in an effort to hunt down the man who “ruined” her. For 8 months she serves as a man in one of the most dangerous and gruesome of professions.
In 1848, Ann lived near Rochester, New York, on the Erie Canal. With promises of marriage she left home with her lover who left her unmarried and not welcome at home. Refusing to take the work available to such women, she dressed and worked as a man until her anger overcame her. She decided to track down the man responsible for her condition.
Once signed, she learns a voyage is for 3 years AND that to meet with a specific ship would be almost impossible. But what would happen to her if she revealed that she was a woman? Could she survive...and still be a woman? How would she deal with a growing attraction to a man who sees her as a boy? Life on a whaling ship was difficult for a man, how much worse must it have been for her?
