Being long intrigued by the Lost Colony of Roanoke, I was eager to read Elinor, Shannon McNear's novelization of this true historical mystery. I wasn't disappointed! The setting, one familiar to me, felt authentically painted. The characters, Elinor and Sees Far in particular, were vivid and sympathetic in their courage to adapt to challenging circumstances and new ideas. To call the research behind this story thorough is an understatement. By the end, I couldn't turn pages fast enough yet didn't want the story to end. Readers of Elinor will be glad there's more to look forward to in this series.

In 1587, Elinor White Dare sailed from England heavy with her first child but full of hopes. Her father, a renowned artist and experienced traveler, has convinced her and her bricklayer husband Ananias to make the journey to the New World. Land, they are promised, more goodly and beautiful than they can ever imagine. But nothing goes as planned from landing at the wrong location, to facing starvation, to the endless wait for help to arrive. And, beyond her comprehension, Elinor finds herself utterly alone. . . .
The colony at Roanoke disappeared into the shadows of history. But, what if one survived to leave a lasting legacy?
