My name is Sarah Ann Leebury. My father was Lord Leebury and a friend of the King. I am writing this manuscript to inform others of the events leading to my present situation. That is, how I became a pirate’s wife and an enemy of the King.
I do not expect anyone to read this while I am still alive–this manuscript will be a testimony to my life after I am gone. Therefore I have been extremely open regarding my private emotions and inmost feelings. Everything written in this document is true. However, if it is discovered and revealed while I am alive, I shall deny everything and say that it is mostly fiction, that I was forced to cooperate with the pirates and was in no way a willing participant in their actions.
