- Synopsis
- Orphaned by the deaths of their parents by the plague in 17th century England Beatrice and Matthew are brought up by there absentminded clergymond grandfather, and somewhat strict grandmother. Being a man, Matthew is able to leave home and make his way to America. Unhappy with the marriage partner her grandparents have chosen for her, Beatrice and her friend Jennifer join over eighty other single "maids" on the brideship Bonaventure which will carry unmarried women to the Virginia colony. Though the shipboard trip is horrifying and trying of everyone's patience, the arrival is nothing like Beetee thinks it will be. Her Brother has a farm, but he doesn't have a home fit for her to live in. In the timespan of this book, she learns much about herself, makes many friends, and finds a place in which she can be useful and happy.
