Anglican Mary Langton longs to marry for love. Puritan Barnabas
Horton still grieves the loss of his beloved wife, but he knows his
two young sons need a mother. And yet these two very different
people with very different expectations will take a leap of faith,
wed, and then embark on a life-changing journey across the ocean to
the Colonies. Along the way, each must learn to live in harmony, to
wait on God, and to recognize true love where they least expect to
find it.
This heartfelt tale of love and devotion is based on debut author
Rebecca DeMarino's own ancestors, who came to Long Island in the
mid-1600s to establish a life--and a legacy--in the New World.
She could cross an ocean, but could she ever win his
heart?
