Kimberly Woodhouse takes you to the 1620-1621 years in America with the arrival of the most famous group of American settlers to arrive, the people on the Mayflower. Most of the book takes place in the Mayflower during the several months journey from England with William Lytton and Mary Elizabeth Chapman. I thought the story could've spent a little less time on the actual Mayflower and more in the colony. I felt that Mary Elizabeth grew as a character and learned to be a survivor and stronger because of the deaths of most of the people closest to her.
I look forward to getting to know some of the later members of the Lytton family, especially since Mary Elizabeth and William had many children and grandchildren and survived almost 50 years in America. Hopefully there will be descendants of Mary Elizabeth's brother among the books. I'd love to know about other descendants of the Mayflower passengers as well.
If you enjoy Christian historical family romance I think this series would be a good one to read. THE MAYFLOWER BRIDE is the first book in the Daughters of the Mayflower Series. I'm looking forward to reviewing the next in the series soon THE PIRATE BRIDE.
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 succeedβand 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?
