A Journey Full of Hope...
Escape into a riveting story based on the mystery of the Lost Colony of Roanoke.
Author Shannon McNear portrays history with vivid authenticity.
In 1587, Elinor White Dare sailed from England heavy with her first child but full of hopes. Her father, a renowned artist and experienced traveler, has convinced her and her bricklayer husband Ananias to make the journey to the New World. Land, they are promised, more goodly and beautiful than they can ever imagine. But nothing goes as planned from landing at the wrong location, to facing starvation, to the endless wait for help to arrive. And, beyond her comprehension, Elinor finds herself utterly alone. . . .
The colony at Roanoke disappeared into the shadows of history. But, what if one survived to leave a lasting legacy?
Customer Reviews
Christian Historical Fiction
Elinor by Shannon McNear Is a Christian Historical Fiction story based on the Lost Colony of Roanoke. I remember as a child reading a book about Virginia Dare and being fascinated by her mystery and the Lost Colony of Roanoke.
Shannon McNear gives us a new perspective from a Christian‘s view of history and life. Elinor and her family’s life is still heartbreaking in many ways but at the same time is uplifting and inspiring. The book shows how God’s plans, care and purpose will probably never be the same as ours but fulfill God‘s perfect will for us and others.
