    It is 1827 and Sarah Seely DeWitt finds herself at the center of Texas history in its earliest and bloodiest period. Sarah's journey from St. Louis to Texas catches her up in a love triangle, forces her into a struggle for her family's survival, and pitches her headlong into the whirlwind of war. Based on actual events leading up to the 1836 Texas Revolution, The Empresario's Wife chronicles the struggles of a young American Everywoman and the events that change her and the nation forever. 
The Empresario’s Wife is published by Bold Story Press, whose mission is to empower women to create narratives, beak barriers, and shape the world through their voices. When women’s voices are heard, the world is a better place. 
“Barbara Seeber has written women into Texas history—it’s about time!” – Francine Edson, a Texas reader 
“Seeber’s novel is prodigiously researched and richly detailed (the narrative contains a wealth of historical nuggets), a textured and atmospheric recreation of time and place with a vividly drawn female lead. Through Sarah’s personal struggles and development, readers are viscerally brought into a piece of history that is traditionally dominated by accounts of the military battles. This is a story of female grit and determination in the face of overwhelming challenges.” – Kirkus Reviews 
“In this epic family tale, part history, part legend, gifted storyteller Barbara Seeber ventures into the Texas of the 1820s and 30s, a wild sometimes brutal land, but a land of freedom and opportunity. Feisty Sarah Seeley DeWitt, Seeber’s fourth-great grandmother, meets it head on...For Seeber to have re-discovered Sarah and brought her to life through dynamic, uplifting prose, is a gift to her family, to Texas, to all who revere the story of America, and especially to women. Here is a hero.” – Barbara Brownell Grogan, Former Editor-in-Chief, National Geographic Books

Among the fray is a lovely young widow who possesses rare and special gifts.     WANTED: Isabella Murray Drummond

But a dying ship's captain will steer her fate into even stormier waters. . . and her heart into flames.    
    FOUND: Cinaed Mackintosh 
 Cast from his home as a child, Cinaed is a fierce soul whose allegiance is only to himself. . .until Isabella comes along. Now that she's saved his life—and added more risk to her own—there is nothing Cinaed won't do to keep Isabella safe. Soon, the couple's only choice is to seek refuge at Dalmigavie Castle, the Mackintosh family seat, where the scandalous truth of Cinaed's past throws any chance of a bright future with Isabella into complete darkness.

    There is something about the number 3.    
 
The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
 
Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
 
Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.
