She was the scandal of old Nantucket. Other women were content to keep house, raise children and wait for their husbands to come home from sea. Not Kezia Coffin. She built the most successful business on the island, traveled wherever she wanted, and when her husband couldn't satisfy her urgent sexuality, took one lover after another. Men on two continents admired her beauty and willful independence. To women everywhere, she was a constant source of scandal...and envy.
Kezia Coffin. She took one lover after another. She was the scandal of all New England.
