The Mayflower Bride
by Kimberley Woodhouse
Most Americans are pretty familiar with the trials of those who came over on the Mayflower, but this story draws us in, and we live through the voyage with these brave men and women in a way that makes the story and struggles become more real. The majority of the story takes place through the eyes of two fictional characters, William and Mary Elizabeth. They each work through personal difficulties and doubts, as well as the hardships of the voyage. I felt the characters’ struggles were very realistic.
I really enjoyed this story and the extra information that the author provided before and after the story. What originally drew me to the story was the fact it was a series that would focus one family’s descendants from the Mayflower through various times in history. As a genealogy buff, this really appealed to me and reminded me of Gilbert Morris’ The House of Winslow series which I enjoyed many years ago. I look forward to reading more of the series and would recommend it to anyone who likes historical fiction.
MY RATING: A solid 4 stars for entertaining me, holding my interest, and providing strong examples of relying on God in adversity.
