Can a religious separatist and an opportunistic spy make it in the New World?A brand new series for fans of all things related to history, romance, adventure, faith, and family trees. Mary Elizabeth Chapman boards the Speedwell in 1620 as a Separatist seeking a better life in the New World. William Lytton embarks on the Mayflower as a carpenter looking for opportunities to succeed—and he may have found one when a man from the Virginia Company offers William a hefty sum to keep a stealth eye on company interests in the new colony. The season is far too late for good sailing and storms rage, but reaching land is no better as food is scarce and the people are weak. Will Mary Elizabeth survive to face the spring planting and unknown natives? Will William be branded a traitor and expelled?

"First off, thank you to both NetGalley and Bookish First for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I really wanted to like this book - I read the excerpt on Bookish First and couldn't wait to read the rest of the novel. I love historical fiction and I have not read a book set in this time - the founding of the United States. Love when the author incorporates real historical figures into the fiction (Myles Standish, etc). However, while the story started off strong, it sort of petered out after that for me. I would have liked more writing about the way they were going to build the settlement, the struggles, and triumphs rather than continued musings of the main character which I soon found boring. I also did not realize that this was a faith-based book - while that is fine and I like learning about different faiths and cultures, I felt like the relating of scripture overtook the book rather than enhancing the story; that may make the book more enjoyable for some, but just not my thing (and I wish I had realized this in advance). As I said, I really wanted to like this book, but it, unfortunately, fell flat for me."
