Description
We often simplify the issues the early settlers faced. We imagine the physical hardship but deemphasize all the other concerns that might have affected their lives. How does a 16-year old Joanna manage suddenly losing all her family in the raw and foreign Massachusetts of 1650? How will she adjust in this new land which clashes from the conflicting views of Puritans versus Anglican; free English versus Scottish prisoners; Native Americans versus immigrants? To survive, Joanna becomes a bond servant to the local ironworks. Will she overcome and thrive facing these years of servitude? A wonderful piece of historical fiction based on actual individuals who settled New England, incorporating their authentic customs and lifestyle. Read individually or as a read-aloud: it could spur lots of great discussion. 5.5 x 8.5, 251 pp, sc. ~ Ruth
