Matthew did not trust his friend, Richard's stories of Paradise in the Jamestown settlement, but nothing could have equipped him for the violence and privation that awaited him in this savage land. Once ashore in the fledging settlement, Matthew experiences the unimaginable beauty of this pristine land and learns the meaning of hope, but it all turns into a nightmare as gold mania infests the community and Indians become an increasing threat. The nightmare only gets worse as the harsh winter brings on "the starving time" and all the grizzly horrors of a desperate and dying community that come with it. Driven to the depths of despair by the guilt of his sins against Richard and his lust for that man's wife, Matthew seeks death. In that moment of crisis, when he chooses death over a life of depravity, he unexpectedly finds new life among his sworn enemy, the Powhatan Indians. What will this new life mean for Matthew, and will he survive? 650 0 $a Powhatan Indians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Colonists $z Jamestown $z Jamestown $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION / Indigenous. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Historical / Colonial America & Revolution. $2 bisacsh 651 0 $a Virginia $x History $y Colonial period, ca. 1600-1775 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20230704010501.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=24D561741A3011EEAF9CB4AD47ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
