You’ve heard the raves about the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, Hamilton. but what happened to ‘Dear Theodosia,’ the fiery daughter Aaron Burr serenades? Hard to Die is an engrossing speculative fiction novel that provides a new take on the uncharted fate of Theodosia Burr Alston, daughter of Alexander Hamilton’s murderer.
Theodosia disappeared at sea in 1813 and her destiny remains a mystery. In Hard to Die, she reappears 150 years later during the early days of the cold war in New York City. Stuck in an in-between, timeless place called “Nowhere” – where people whose deaths are unresolved find themselves resurrected under the guidance of a “Nowhere” steward – Theodosia is presented with an assignment: she must help a living soul navigate a life-changing crossroad. If she fails in her assignment, she will be doomed to a fate worse than death – erased from history’s timeline, forgotten forever.
A pioneer of the emerging speculative fiction genre, Hard to Die combines elements of history, the paranormal, and suspense to breathe fresh air into the story of Theodosia Burr Alston.
