First Lady of the New World (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798890250834)

A brilliant and beautiful Creole commoner rises to become the most powerful woman in the New World, and a hero of the American Revolution.

Felicite St. Maxent, the brilliant and beautiful daughter of a wealthy businessman in colonial New Orleans, is tragically widowed at the age of eighteen. She soon meets the dashing young Spanish General Bernardo de Galvez on his first day as governor, and despite the scandal of their courtship, they receive the King's blessing to marry.

Through wisdom and bravery, they restore New Orleans to prosperity and, through epic battles, drive the British from the American South, becoming heroes of the American Revolution.

Felicite and Bernardo travel to Europe and enchant the Royal Courts throughout the continent before being named Viceroyals of Mexico City, the most powerful position in the New World. It is there that they meet their greatest challenges and peril.

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a glimpse of colonial New Orleans and an important part of Americana, blending slices of true history with fiction, in a compelling story of the New Orleans power structure at the dawn of the United States.
