Book Details

A Compelling, Richly Woven Family Saga

Two families—one from England in 1650 and the other from Scotland in the 1700s—embark on a perilous journey across the Atlantic to America, driven by dreams of prosperity and freedom. Facing treacherous seas, harsh landscapes, and the threat of sickness and conflict with Native Americans, they work tirelessly to earn their own plots of fertile land. Through their struggles and triumphs, the families forge a bond that transcends their origins and forms the groundwork for a legacy that will flourish in the New World. Brave Beginnings chronicles the families’ hardships, the strength of their resolve, and the eventual success of their descendants, who continue to thrive in America, embodying the spirit of resilience and hope that defined their ancestors.
