MY JUST DESIRE
This is the remarkable story of Bess Ralegh, lover, wife and widow of Sir Walter Ralegh.

Bess was the hidden force behind his spectacular public achievements and the shrewd creator of his reputation after his death.

But she is far more than a foil to Ralegh: she had the intelligence and business acumen to prosper in the financial and legal world despite having no rights as a woman; and she had great emotional strength which sustained her through personal tragedies and political disasters.
