About this title

About the Author:

Christy-award winning novelist Angela Elwell Hunt has written many best-sellers, including The Note, The Shadow Women, and The Truth Teller. In this series she returns to her love of historical fiction, presenting historical fact as she paints a picture of what life was like in America's colonial period.

From Library Journal:

In 1587, a fleet of English ships set sail for the Virginia colony. During a storm, one ship became separated from the others and was never seen again. The settlers on board were presumed lost at sea, but there is both historical and legendary evidence that the colonists actually founded the Roanoke colony. Veteran novelist Hunt ("Theyn Chronicles") reimagines this slice of Colonial history through the eyes of Jocelyn White, a newlywed reluctant to leave her home in England for the wild shores of the New World. White's journey is fraught with danger, but her dependence on God and God's providence carry her safely through. Hunt's engaging historical romance will appeal to fans of B.J. Hoff and Patricia Hickman. Recommended for most collections.
