Until that happens, or until God tells me to stop in this pursuit and dream another dream, I can only describe them for you.
I've written a series of books that chronicle the life of a young woman and her sisters as they follow their family's faithful but difficult path to America on the Mayflower. They are not caricatures who wear white coifs, and stiff collars, and never sin. They are real people, with real longings, real fears, and real faith that is sometimes fragile and sometimes wrong. Their journey is one worth taking for modern readers.
Every writer desires that his or her story would be engaging and entertaining and that has been true for me as I’ve woven the fictional thread of faith and love between my characters. But it is also my hope that you, Dear Reader, will be as much educated on the real story of these people who came to be known as Pilgrims, as you will be entertained by them.
Above all, I hope that you will be edified by witnessing their faith in God and their courage and wisdom as they face a form of persecution and oppression that many of us in America today simply cannot imagine.
