Historical fiction and creative nonfiction, each grounded in real archival research.
The women who kept the record — and the truths they hid inside it.
Historical fiction at its finest.
Kirkus Reviews
Arabella steps out of the margins of a famous life and into her own.
A masterpiece of historical writing. George brings history to life in the way only a well-crafted historical novel can.
Colin Mustful, History Through Fiction
Elizabeth Carne of Cornwall — scientist, banker, and force of nature, restored to the page.
A story which truly needed to be told. I could not put this excellent read down.
Tony Mansell, The Cornish Story
A story of endurance drawn from a world that gave its women little and asked everything.
The lyrical narrative is a joy to read… as thrilling as it is educational.

Voices the archive filed under someone else's name, each given her own telling.
George's characters are excellently wrought, with vivid descriptions and well-realized personalities.
The BookLife PrizeAn outstanding, powerfully written historical fiction… beautifully written and, suffice it to say, a must-read.
Larry C. Liebscher · AmazonFilled with history, magic, treasure, ghosts, deceit. An excellent historical novel.

The women behind the monuments — resilience carved in stone and memory. Across Virginia, the state that enslaved more people than any other, women once written out of the record rise from its margins — some from bondage to landowning, others stitching their way to freedom — each turning grit, strategy, and quiet rebellion into a legacy the archive tried to forget.
Very well researched and insightful. Jill George uses circumstantial evidence to fill in gaps that are begging to be filled in. I highly recommend this one.
J. Wilkins · AmazonJill George's writing brings history alive. I especially love how she finds stories that have never been told before and shines a light on them. A great read as always.
