Sir William Wallace, the Scots hero of the Battle of Stirling Bridge, left his daughter Jilliana three things--rigorous training as a warrior, his famous sword, and a powerful need to avenge the betrayal that resulted in his horrifying death. Caught between the secret of her birth and a mission of vengeance which should never have fallen to her, Jilliana is swept into Robert Bruce's battle to once again free Scotland from English rule.

About the Author
Roby James has been writing since she was nine years old, with a ten-year hiatus from 1978 to 1988 to ensure that her marriage would succeed (it has). She is the author of Commencement (Hawk Books, 2000) and Commitment (Hawk Books, 2000); both books were previously published by Del Rey Books. She has also written a great deal of nonfiction, most notably for The Washington Post. She has spoken before audiences as large as 1,000 without being pelted by tomatoes or cabbages. At one time, she wrote for television (where assault by vegetables is one of the nicest things that happens to you), and her plays have been presented in Los Angeles, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. In real life, she is a desktop publisher, a technical writer, and a fiction instructor. She has recently sold 4 titles to Wildside Press, of which this is the first, and the others should be forthcoming sometime before human beings walk on Mars.

A Beautifully-Written, Sweeping Historical Saga,
By
This review is from: The Soldier's Daughter (Alan Rodgers Books) (Hardcover)
Roby James weaves a tapestry -- or tartan! -- of words worthy of her great imagination. If you loved "Braveheart," you will enjoy this book; if you like strong heroines, then Jilliana is for you. She's the daughter of Braveheart himself -- William Wallace! Full of accurate details about this turbulent time in Scottish history, you might be surprised at the character of Robert Bruce if you remember the character as portrayed in the movie "Braveheart." The Soldier's Daughter is a great love story as well the story of a brave nation and its people. Roby's characters love with all their hearts and fight with all their souls. She writes with love and empathy, and a deep knowledge of this dramatic period of history.
