Unexpectedly, the slaver is pirated at sea and the Calvinist Reverend turned Privateer, Captain Jope, takes Margaret and John to the shores of Virginia instead. The year - 1619. Based on exhaustive genealogical and historical research, this epic novel traces the fate of the passengers on what has since become known as the Black Mayflower. Margaret and John brave disease, Indian attacks, and political intrigue in England and America, as they are among the first Africans to settle in Virginia, long before slavery became institutionalized there.
