Number one: I would rate this author of the caliber of James Michener. This is a historical fiction novel about a woman named Wosley Lowell who came over on the Mayflower and settled and had the first Thanksgiving. She lives at Plymouth until her willfulness in the eyes of the Puritans expel her to escape to the Dutch Island of Manhattan. There she meets up with Wild O'Brien. This is a story of a mother and a wife to different men and the relationship of the men in her life with her twin daughters. These are the stories of transplanted Europeans to the New World who evolved to be the Americans, how they thrived, survived and lived during the beginnings of our country. Terry Coleman is the author of Southern Cross which I have put on my wish list. This is an engaging read that you won't want to end; like Michiner's book Chesapeake.
