From Kingdom to Colony

Step back into colonial New England with Mary Devereux's From Kingdom to Colony, presented here in its complete, unabridged original text exactly as it appeared when first published in 1901. A richly drawn historical romance, the novel follows its heroine through the upheavals of early American settlement life, where faith, family loyalty, and forbidden feeling collide against the austere backdrop of Puritan society. Devereux writes with warmth and vivid period detail, capturing both the hardships and the intimate dramas of a world poised between Old World allegiances and a new national identity. This heritage edition features a new introduction that places the novel in its literary and historical context, along with reader's notes illuminating the customs, places, and events that shape the story. Whether you are discovering a forgotten classic or returning to an old favorite, this volume restores a turn-of-the-century bestseller to the hands of modern readers.
