Barbara Eppich Struna
Author Barbara Eppich Struna.
When the author and her husband Tim, a professional artist, turned forty in the late 1980s, they moved with their three teenagers from Ohio to Cape Cod into a sea captain’s house, circa 1880. The Cape’s history and brilliant natural light drew them in; this was a place where Tim would paint and Barbara could write.
A storyteller at heart, Barbara’s imagination took flight after she unearthed a mysterious pattern of red bricks under ten inches of soil behind her barn, and found a beautiful blue-flowered pottery shard on the tidal flats of Brewster. She conjured up a connection to an old Cape legend about Maria Hallett and her pirate lover Sam Bellamy, captain of the wrecked ship The Wyhdah.
These unanticipated events catapulted Barbara onto a journey that led to the writing of
