Book Description: Mary Elizabeth Chapman boards the Speedwell in 1620 as a Separatist seeking a better life in the New World. William Lytton embarks on the Mayflower as a carpenter looking for opportunities to succeed—and he may have found one when a man from the Virginia Company offers William a hefty sum to keep a stealth eye on company interests in the new colony. The season is far too late for good sailing and storms rage, but reaching land is no better as food is scarce and the people are weak. Will Mary Elizabeth survive to face the spring planting and unknown natives? Will William be branded a traitor and expelled?
My Thoughts: This is a brand new series for those who love history, family, faith and adventure.
Not having read anything by Kimberley Woodhouse I was excited to see that she writes an exciting and adventurous story with so much history!
Life on on the Speedwell in 1620 wasn't for wimps. Especially for a Separatist seeking religious freedom.
Mary Elizabeth Chapmn is on her way to the New World.
Aslo on the ship is William Lytton a young carpenter who has been employed as a sort of spy.
When Mary Elizabeth and William meet on the ship they become friends.
But as the days stretch out it seems that there will not be enough food. Land can't be far, can it?
Poor Mary Elizabeth will she make it?
A well written, almost historical account, of those who sacrificed to have a better life in the New World.
