The Last Royals of Portsmouth is a work of historical fiction that imagines the complex relationship between Royal Governor John Wentworth and his beautiful, ambitious wife, Frances. The novel places the reader in the middle of the six years between their marriage and their forced, hasty late-night departure from Portsmouth in June 1775 to escape the fury of a raucous crowd of Patriots bent on eliminating all vestiges of royal control from New Hampshire. The romantic fictional portrayals of Irish immigrant Tommy Mullins and Lucie Wentworth, the outcast adopted niece of John Wentworth, symbolize the rising tide of human will and destiny to pursue liberty and progress despite humble beginnings. The novel's vivid portrayal of the Battle of Bunker Hill in the last chapter is a testament to its immersive storytelling. The novel is historically accurate but permits the reader to delve into the minds and emotions of prominent figures and events that led up to the Revolutionary War.
