|  | | GENESEE
Red and white were at war in the world, and in her blood. Genesee was born to an Iroquois warrior and a teen runaway. Returned to "civilization," Genesee finds little but contempt among her mother's people. When the American Revolution explodes an uneasy peace on the frontier and Genesee is carried into captivity. Will the love of a young soldier be strong enough to save her?
"Look at Miss Genny!" one of the maids cried, "Just like a cat!"
On a broad limb of a tree, her long black hair held with a scarlet ribbon, without a cap and dressed only in a white muslin shift, was a slender, supple girl. For a heartbeat, she steadied herself and then proceeded on small brown bare feet along the mottled limb.

The life of Constanze Mozart, who lived the adventure of marriage to the world's first musical Superstar.
At sixteen my big sister Aloysia looked like the painted goddesses who reclined voluptuously above our heads on the ceiling of the opera house. Like them, she was blonde, rosy, round breasted and narrow waisted. Althouth she didn't fall in love with Mozart (as both he and my parents so ardently desired, I did.
It happened because Papa stanchly maintained that no matter how tight things were, we could "always spare a little beer and some of Josepha's fine liver dumplings." He was forever bringing home traveling musicians from the Court, absolutely certain that one of these fellows woul | |  | | My Mozart
