Today without a clue means to have no knowledge of something, but it once had a different meaning.
A clue (also spelled clew) was a globular ball formed from coiling worms or the like or, more specifically, a ball of thread.
In Greek myth – the tale of Theseus and the Minotaur. Theseus entered the labyrinth to kill the half-man, half-bull Minotaur. He did so but was only able to find his way out by retracing his path, marked by the string given to him by Ariadne. So, Theseus ‘had a clew’ about the safe route out of the maze and was able to escape.
REVIEWS
The exhilarating action & subplots keep the reader in constant anticipation. It is almost impossible to put the book down until completion,

This is the first book I have read that puts a personal touch to some seemingly real people in factual events.

Love books with strong women…this has one. Love early American history about ordinary people…even though they were not ‘ordinary’…it took courage to populate our country. This book is well-researched and well-written.

A picture of love and history rolled into one. A step back in time that pulls you in and makes you a part of the family and their world.

Each book’s writing gets stronger, the characters become real, the struggles and sorrows that laid the foundation for this country.
