Can one person secure peace for an entire nation?
Or will Pocahontas need the help of Thomas Savage, the interpreter, and John Rolfe, the man she’s beginning to have feelings for?
Virginia, 1613. Three years of war have kept Pocahontas and Thomas apart. When the English kidnap her, they’re reunited, but their lives are controlled by a cruel and powerful man who has brought hundreds of soldiers to the New World in conquest of all the land he can take. Regardless of who he must displace or kill.
Unique and deeply spiritual, Pocahontas endures captivity by using her strengths to find ways to make peace. Taught Christianity, she’s expected to accept a new religion. But she won’t give up her tribal ways and is determined to combine her inherent beliefs with those of the English God.
Thomas Savage, an orphan and prisoner himself as an indentured servant, aches for the freedom he once knew. Desperate for connection and a family, he longs to get closer to Pocahontas. But standing in his way are the leaders of Jamestown and John Rolfe, the tobacco farmer who has taken a serious interest in the woman Thomas loves.
Caught between the Natives and the English and between Thomas and John, Pocahontas must remain faithful to who she is and make peace with herself and the two nations set on killing each other.
Discover how Pocahontas wields a far-reaching influence over the future of a nation in Book Two of this series of YA historical novels. Taken from true events and written by genealogist and history lover Ora Smith, the Jamestown’s Boy Interpreter books are based on her ancestors and fit into what she calls Heritage Fiction. She is related to both Thomas Savage and likely the Accomack Native Americans.
