In the rugged yet burgeoning colony of Nova Scotia in the late 18th century, Ambition’s Price tells the captivating story of Mary “Polly” Cannon, a spirited and resourceful girl who rises from humble beginnings to become a formidable businesswoman.
In 1760, 12-year-old Polly helped run her family’s inn alongside her hardworking parents, William and Martha Cannon, and her uncle Robert. From an early age, Polly demonstrates a keen mind and an insatiable curiosity, though her fiery temper and stubborn streak often lead her into scrapes. As she grows, Polly faces the challenges of navigating a male-dominated world, learning through trials, triumphs, and her own mistakes.
A pivotal encounter with J.F.W. “Wallet” desBarres, a retired British Army Lieutenant harboring ambitious dreams of wealth and status, sets Polly on a transformative journey. Wallet becomes both a rival and an ally, forcing Polly to navigate the complexities of trust, ambition, and human frailty. Her shrewd ability to judge character and her resilience in the face of setbacks propel her from the modest inn to the heights of colonial business.
Rich with historical detail and set against the vivid backdrop of colonial Nova Scotia, Ambition’s Price is a tale of courage, wisdom, and the cost of success. Through Polly Cannon’s journey, D.R. Canning explores themes of hope, perseverance, and the enduring power of kindness in an era of challenges and change.
