Ella March Chase's " The Virgin Queen's Daughter" pursues the notion that Queen Elizabeth I may have had a child. Melding historical fact with a writer's imagination, Chase gives the reader a detailed and lively account of Nell de Lacey, a brilliant young woman, who is taken from her country home to serve at the Queen's court and gradually discovers her true identity and her true love. Equally interesting is that the author is from Moline, Illinois, and has written many other books under the name of Kimberly Cates.
