Inspired by the rich history and profound themes of Herman Melville's classic Moby Dick, Louise M. Gouge has continued the story of Captain Ahab by telling of Ahab's Legacy: his wife and his son. Impeccably researched, and true to Melville's original themes of vengeance, conscience, and man's relationship to God, this trilogy adds Louise's own blend of romance, adventure, and compelling characters set against an intricate historical tapestry.
Ahab's Bride—Book One of Ahab's Legacy A compelling novel about the legendary Captain
Ahab of Herman Melville's Moby Dick and how he changed
a young woman's life and Hannah Rose who, through the power of
love, tried desperately to prevent his vengeful quest for the
white whale.
Ahab is dead, the victim of his own pride. His widow, Hannah, and their son must now make a new life outside of the whaling community of Nantucket. Hannah meets the kind and warm Captain Lazarus, and the dashing Captain Longwood; but she also has another encounter that shakes the very foundation of all she believes...slavery. Hannah must face her own convictions.

**** "Compelling" "Louise Gouge creates a unique story that weaves love and courage into
Hannah Rose. As the spirited
heroine steps forth courageously to build a life with her son, she finds the choices
involving her heart are the most difficult of all."
Timothy Jacobs, a handsome midshipman at the U. S. Naval Academy, is determined not to sail the disastrous course that destroyed his infamous father, Captain Ahab. Certain of his own goodness compared to the man he both hates and admires, Timothy feels his good works are salvation enough. But after he is tragically wounded during a Civil War sea battle, his all-consuming rage at God launches him on a bitter journey all too reminiscent of the father he vowed not to be like. Will Timothy learn the lessons his father ignored? Will childhood sweetheart Jemima show him the account of his father's ill-fated voyage in time? Can Timothy accept that both he and his father have misunderstood the merciful, loving nature of God? From RiverOak Publishing, ISBN 1589190416 [read an excerpt]† Praise for Son of Perdition "Louise
M. Gouge has once again combined history, romance, and adventure
to create a story as grand in sweep as the distance from the bottom
of the sea to heaven on high."
