Almost Home by Wendy Lawton

Description

Almost Home is the story of the pilgrims' journey to America and of God's providence and provision. Several of the characters in the story-Mary Chilton, Constance Hopkins, and Elizabeth Tilley-were actual passengers on the Mayflower. Mary Chilton was a young girl when she left her home in Holland and traveled to America onboard the Mayflower with her parents. The journey was filled with trials, joys, and some surprises, but when she reached the New World, she experienced a new life, new show more freedom, and new home. Wendy Lawton has taken the facts of the pilgrims' journey to the New World, and from this information filled in personal details to create a genuine and heart-warming story. show less

I really recommend this book if you are studying the Mayflower and Pilgrams. It's a really beautiful book and I love it! I had to read it for school but as I was reading it, I actually began to like the book. And that is really rare with school books. Great read.
