Featured will be Karen Warfield's latest historical fiction novel (1640), The Emancipation of Hannah Faythe Winslow: A Woman's Journey in Colonial America.
After the 1637 Mohegan and Pequot War, orphaned Hannah is left with a vile and amoral man who evades the local magistrates under the guise of establishing a plantation in southeastern Connecticut. She and the missionaries are sent to bring Christianity to the local tribes under an English charter that guarantees each family a homestead at the end of seven years. But instead of living a Godly, noble life, Hannah finds herself a hostage of unbearable religious dogma and a patriarchal society. She could not fathom the omniscience of God as she witnessed the brutality of man upon fellow man. But Hannah discovers God's grace as He leads her into the uncharted territories of the new world. She was a child bride, a woman captive, and finally, a woman triumphant.
While this book contains many archaic words, idioms, and phrases, please remember that it is historical fiction, and I have kept the language proper to the era.
