Jacky Faber makes waves, even when docked in her adopted city of Boston to attend to the business of Faber Shipping Worldwide. With big dreams and perhaps too much exuberance for the Puritan populace, she quickly finds herself at odds with the Women’s Temperance Union and a town roiling over the arrival of hundreds of Irish laborers, brought in on Jacky’s Lorelei Lee. Thwarted at every turn by her enemies, Jacky is forced to acknowledge her shortcomings—and possibly lose her beloved Jaimy Fletcher.
In this new installment in the ever-popular Bloody Jack Adventures, will the impulsive Jacky Faber finally get her comeuppance?

“Katherine Kellgren’s exuberant
performance reflects Jacky Faber’s irrepressible personality in this eleventh
installment of the Bloody Jack series. Here, Jacky finds herself in Boston
among friends. Kellgren moves fluidly between singing, narration, and a cast of
distinct voices and accents as Jacky copes with her shipping company’s
financial problems and the absence of her beloved Jaimy by purchasing a rundown
pub, opening a theater, and setting out to recover buried treasure. Kellgren
keeps pace with Jacky’s emotions, which range from rage to joy to sorrow as she
navigates the consequences of antagonizing the temperance movement, her
friends, and a mob of arsonists. This rollicking production will appeal to both
fans of the series and those new to it.”
