Ever wonder what it was like as a Pilgrim on the Mayflower in 1620 headed for the New World? In this page-turner, award-winning author Dr. Jeanne Blanchet recreates the experience. From life in the filthy, cramped quarters of the historic vessel’s gun deck, through perilous storms at sea, to the final anchor drop at Plymouth, readers will feel as if they are with young Sara Ann Clifton as she and her family confront hunger, disease, and death during the epic, ten-week venture. They will also meet Ousamequin (“Massasoit”), Tisquantum (“Squanto”), and other Native Americans with whom the family’s lives became entwined on landing. This work of historical fiction is a must-read for American history enthusiasts as well as anyone who enjoys a fast-paced, exciting novel.
