The Rising Shore - Roanoke description:
|
|
|
A novel telling the story of the Lost Colony through the voices of two pioneering women who sail from London to the wild American shore in 1587. Elenor Dare is daughter of the expedition's leader. Freshly married and pregnant when she boards the ship, she longs to explore the New World, but finds herself constrained. Margaret Lawrence is Elenor's servant. Warm-hearted Margaret blazes her own path to independence.
Historically, the 1587 settlement on Roanoke Island was the first English attempt to colonize America. It failed, and more than a hundred men and women vanished. The mystery of their disappearance has never been solved. THE RISING SHORE - ROANOKE rediscovers those lost colonists and brings to life the courageous women who dared to venture.
"Homsher has succeeded in satisfying the sweet hunger of those enthralled with the [Lost Colony] mystery. She’s crafted a solid yet poetic saga that will hold readers captive. … What truly sings in Homsher’s work is her amazing ability to understand life."
— The Virginian-Pilot [“Coast”]
"Homsher’s novel gives life to the few scraps of historical documentation of the Roanoke colony and creates strong characters that grab your attention and make you dream of an altered history."
