Onward, Whate'er Befall Us - Paperback

The year is 1620. For a servant, it's the opportunity of a lifetime. John Howland, the oldest Carver servant, is put in charge of the five younger servants as they sail across the ocean to America. Expected to be thirty days at sea, the voyage turns into sixty-six days of disagreeable sailors, untrustworthy ships, storms, personal conflicts, sickness, and death. Some say the voyage is cursed. In the middle of the Atlantic, the pilgrims question their decision to build a new colony on the Hudson River. But what can they do? It's too late to turn back. Reaching their destination moves them into new and unfamiliar challenges. With each problem that arises, John encourages others to continue on with a dream that will not die.
