Esther : the remarkable true story of Esther Wheelwright : Puritan child, native daughter, Mother Superior / Julie Wheelwright.
At a time when her sisters in New England could aspire to be only wives and mothers, Esther Wheelwright, who had been abducted by Abenakis in Maine and eventually made her way north into Québec, became a member of the Ursuline nuns and rose to the position of Mother Superior. To save the order after the British conquered Québec in 1759, Esther used the same entrepreneurial talents that had made her family one of the wealthiest in Massachusetts and won the support of Protestant English women, including the wife of Governor Guy Carleton and Frances Brooke, who is credited with having written the first novel in Canada.
