Excerpts
Reviews
"I was blown away by this one! This beautifully written historical novel will take you back to a time in our history that will fascinate any reader. - Joanne Liggan, author of Heir of Deception
"Occasionally, I read a book that makes me want to e-mail all my friends and say, "You've got to read this book!" It's not quite as often that I encounter a book that makes me want to buttonhole complete strangers, saying "You have to read this book!"
Connie Lapallo's debut novel is the second kind of book...
If you plan a trip to Jamestown, I highly recommend that you read the book first. When you arrive at Jamestown, and walk through the palisade, explore the ship, and sit in the little church, you just might feel a sense of deja vu as you look over the land that became Joan's home... Read this book!" - Janice Campbell, Everyday Education
