"I thought this novel was fantastic. It was so rich in detail and was so interesting. Elizabeth Winthrop is really a fascinating character, and the historical detail is outstanding throughout the book. Her story is a bit bittersweet, but when I finished the book I felt like I had just finished a complex and delicious 5-course meal."
"I really, really liked this book. I loved how it is s close to truth as historical fiction can get (she weaves real journal entries, letters and historical fact throughout the entire story). I love the strength of Elizabeth and how she persevered in Puritan society in the wilds of the colonies. Fabulous. I can't wait to read her other books."
"If you love reading about women and their connections to the historical names of our nascent country, read this! Elizabeth Fones, soon to become Mistress Winthrop, then Feake, and finally Hallet will inspire and delight as you live with her struggles and joys of 17th Century New England."
"Europeans settling America pre-colonial period...a riveting read with meticulously researched details of hardships faced, particularly by women. Superb characterization, too! A must-read if you've English or Dutch immigrant ancestry dating to the 1600s on the North Atlantic coast!"
