San Francisco. Two women. Two Centuries. One hidden diary with explosive truths.
Based on true characters and events.
With a diary beginning in 1867 at age thirteen, Theodora "Teddy" Ellis defies gender norms as a miner, suffragist, and real estate pioneer. Over a hundred years later, climate-migrant attorney and single special-needs mother Georgina "Ellie" Benvenuto discovers Teddy's long-hidden diary - along with an heirloom that could change everything.
From escaping the Great Chicago Fire, to prospecting in the untamed Alaska wilderness, to rebuilding post-earthquake San Francisco--Teddy's covert past helps Ellie navigate her own fault lines more than a century later.
Blending real legal cases, emotional resilience, intergenerational mystery, and unconventional love stories, this richly researched novel explores climate justice, gender nonconformity, caregiver discrimination, the immigrant experience, and unsung Indigenous voices.
The Covert Buccaneer is a celebration of resilience, legacy, and what we might become when we dare to follow the women who came before us.
