Virginia (Daughters of the Lost Colony 1602) by Shannon McNear


This story of Virginia is a fictional version of what might have happened to Virginia (Ginny) after her capture by another tribe.  It is a fascinating story that kept me reading every page, just as the previous books of this series. Ginny was the first English child born in the colony.  The not knowing of what happened to the colony is fascinating to think about.  I kept wondering whether they all were killed or moved to another location.  The book has a lot of historical information which I know I would not have known about, had I not read this book.  The research which went into this writing is amazing.

I loved this Christian historical  fiction story.  The characters seemed real and the storyline was well written. There were very difficult parts very likely similar to things that could certainly have actually happened.  

I received an ARC of this book.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Rebecca (Daughters of the Lost Colony Book 3)

I have loved this series and this book was really good.  I really have come to enjoy historical fiction and this author's writing style is always attention grabbing and well researched. Although fiction in nature, you could see the historical elements that set the scene and created a captivating story.  The  cast list and the glossary were definitely helpful in knowing some of the terms used and getting to know the characters in the book.  The story revolves around the well-known Pocahontas, John Smith and John Rolfe.  Historically there are conflicts in the real history and so it was interesting to see how this was handled in the book.  It was a very enlightening book and helped me remember some of the events of that time.  I really enjoyed it!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing.  All thoughts and opinions are mine.
