Description Remember Allerton and her family bid farewell to their home in England and boarded a ship set for the New World. It was the right time, her father said, to make the journey to America and start an English colony?a true Separatists? homeland, with no more harassment nor discrimination from the King of England and the Popish laws. But to get there, they must face harsh seas, terrifying storms, and disease. And that?s just the beginning. Includes historical background information, websites to visit, author interview, and a writing prompt.
