The Pirate Queen By Patricia Hickman

Saphora Warren wants for nothing materially. Her palatial home graces the cover of Southern Living Magazine and her friends dress like models for Southern Woman, but for all she can get her hands on; she cannot grasp the love of her husband. His wandering eye has kept him roving since early in their marriage and she has had enough. With her bags packed, Saphora prepares to make a clean start, alone, in Oriental on the Neuse.

Her trip to Oriental takes on an unexpected turn when her husband meets her at the door of their home pale and perspiring telling her only that he is sick and that they will be going to Oriental and commute to Duke where he will be getting treatment from a friend.

In the process of caring for those around her, she discovers the value of what she has to offer others and more importantly the One who made her who she is.

Patricia Hickman captures life on the coast through vivid word pictures and compellingly complicated relationships. In The Pirate Queen, Hickman has peeled back the foil of the glamourous life of the rich and famous and revealed the same hard battles we each face day to day: learning to love one another for who they are, searching for God and the meaning of life through the filter of his love, making sense of the cruelty in the world and what we can do to make it right.
