Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 5
Mary is the second daughter of the Sherborn family. Gifted with clairvoyance, a strain that runs through her Celtic ancestors, Mary is born in the wrong place at the wrong time. The Massachusetts Bay Colony, founded by Puritans in 1630, tolerates no other faith or people. After the magistrates execute the first midwife for witchcraft, Mary dares not admit her visions to anyone, even to herself while she conforms to the Puritan faith. Marrying both wealth and power, she struggles to maintain the respect of her community while concealing her visions.

Engaging historical fiction
Revisado: 05-04-21
It is fascinating to read these historical fiction stories based on different perspectives from characters in the same family. I enjoy the historical backdrop and also insights into their way of life in colonial Massachusetts. There is even a childbirth scene with a midwife assisting in a difficult birth. I am looking forward to reading the next books in the series.

When his father dies and his older brother inherits the family’s homestead in Stogumber, England, William becomes an easy target for recruiters of skilled workers for the newly chartered Massachusetts Bay Colony in America. A devout Puritan (and political outcast in 1640) of marriageable age but landless, he faces conscription for a looming civil war.

Fascinating Historical Fiction
Revisado: 04-27-21
The author documented lots of research to back up this fictional account of her ancestors in early American history. I should say that she brought history to life! I am eager to read the chronicles of the rest of the series. The narrator also did a great job giving appropriate inflection to the various characters, of which there were many, and distinguishing their voices from each other.
