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.
SUMMARY
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?
