Meer over het boek

This historical novel, set in the early 1600s, describes events that impacted young Mayflower passenger, Elisabeth Tilley, who early in life became wise beyond her years. The story also follows two Native Americans: the enigmatic Squanto, who was kidnapped from the Plymouth area, lived in England, returned to his homeland, and helped the Pilgrims survive in the New World; and the fictional Hurit, a daring and beautiful young girl who became best friends with Elisabeth in Plymouth. The story is based on actual events that occurred in the early 1600s through 1623. Friendships and romances are woven together with politics, international trade, and religious differences of the time to form a fabric of historical fact and fiction.
