The Mayflower Bride: Daughters of the Mayflower - Book 1 Volume 1

The Mayflower Bride What a magical, warming, loving, tender and historical tale of the riders on the Mayflower. Oh how the author brought this tale to life. It was so original and real. The author did such a fantastic job catching your attention and bringing you along for the ride with the travelers; you honestly felt like you were on it with them but felt so grateful that we have the shot for pneumonia and bad that they didn't an awful for the result because of it. If this sounds good - which I know it does - go get this and enjoy for yourself…. I received a copy of this book from the Publisher and Netgalley; all of the opinions expressed in this review are all my own. if you would like to read more of my Christian book reviews go to christianlybookreviewers.blogspot.com

Set in 1620, A group of Separatists are sailing to the New World. Their first ship SPEEDWELL has mechanical issues and has to turn back. They get on the MAYFLOWER and set sail. The sailing is hard on most of the people on board, there is continuous seasickness and other illnesses. Many people die. Mary Elizabeth Chapman is sailing with her brother and father. Her best friend Dorothy is on the ship as well. Mary Elizabeth and Dorothy nurse many of the patients, since they are young and able bodied. Illness strike their families as well. William Lytton is a carpenter who is hoping for a new life in the New World (this is modern day USA). He likes what the Separatists stand for and when he falls in love with one of the women, he asks to be allowed to convert over to the Separatist religion and way of life. There is a man who is bent on causing problems wherever he goes. He tries to get William into trouble with the other Separatists. The book holds your attention and you can imagine what it was like for these early people. Highly recommend. I received a free copy from Barbour Publishing, I was under no obligation to write a review. My review is my own opinion.
