About this ebook

Worlds Collide Along the Shores of the Outer Banks
 
Immerse yourself in the “what if” questions related to the Lost Colony of Roanoke. What if an English boy and a native girl met in the wilderness? The push-and-pull between two very different worlds begins as one seeks simple friendship and the other struggles to trust. And can it—dare they—allow it to be more?

Sparks fly between Mushaniq, free-spirited daughter of Manteo, and Georgie Howe, whose father was brutally murdered by undiscovered native warriors before they’d been on Roanoac Island a full week. As Georgie struggles to make sense of his life and to accept that not all they call “savage” are guilty of his father’s death, Mushaniq grapples with her own questions about who Manteo has become. As tentative friendship becomes more, forged in the fire of calamity and attack upon their community, both must decide whether the One True God is indeed who He claims to be and whether He is worthy of their trust.

Author Shannon McNear portrays history with vivid authenticity.

Ratings and reviews

What a wonderful read! This is book two of The Daughters of the Lost Colony series and it tells Mary's story. The author did a wonderful job of weaving fact with fiction to make this story a page-turner that stays with you long after you've read the last page. It's a beautifully written faith filled book that I highly recommend. I received a complimentary copy from Barbour Publishing and was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

This was certainly an amazing book. I couldn't help but keep reading and reading. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing. All thoughts are my own.
