About this ebook

The Lost Colony of Roanoke: discover an alternate view of their fate alongside the life of Pocahontas.

Born the daughter of a Powhatan chieftain and a woman of unknown origins, Mato’aka enjoys a carefree life. When strange men from across the eastern waters appear near her home, she regards them at first as a mere curiosity. Soon, though, she finds herself torn between fascination for one of their leaders and the opinions and ways of her people–then becomes a pawn in their delicate and dangerous game of politics. Drawn to a young Englishman, John Rolfe, who has lost a wife and baby daughter, she shares his griefs. . .and perhaps something more.

Could she have a future among the English of Jamestown, accepting their ways and even changing her name? Could her destiny be a part of the lasting legacy of the Lost Colony of Roanoke?

Author Shannon McNear portrays history with vivid authenticity.

Ratings and reviews

Rebecca (Daughters of the Lost Colony Book 3) by Shannon McNear is Christian Historical Fiction. I loved this book about Pocahontas, and this interpretation of her life. McNear gives her readers a view of each important character’s thinking processes, growth and feelings. It is difficult to imagine the life the natives and early settlers lead but it is made easier with this book. I especially appreciated the author’s notes, historical details, bibliography and research that complete this book.

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. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing.
