Heart broken and afraid, Gabriella - the beautiful granddaughter of Abuela Rose - stands atop a windy mountain wondering what will become of her and the life she has always known. At the same time, floating on the ocean, surrounding that windy mountain, is a ship captained by a pirate with designs on both Gabriella and the seaside village she calls home. When the two collide, Gabriella must fight to save all that is important to her even if it means disguising herself to face down the evil Captain Eduardo. Written with purpose and heart, The Legend of Abuela Rose is the first in D. Ann Nadeau's Pirates and Legends series. This first book tells the tale of a young girl, who after great loss, finds her life's purpose. Young readers will enjoy the humor and adventure as they come to understand the importance of both kindness and service to others.
