Publisher Description
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.

Customer Reviews
We all need grace.
It is the favor of God we do not deserve. If we did, it would not be grace.
This historical story is sure to grab your attention and keep it until the end. In many ways, the life of the English settlers and the Indigenous peoples was a fascinating look at what happens when the new conflicts with the old. Perhaps not so very strange in our world today.
These well developed characters bring a whole new light to the difficulties of learning to live and thrive in the late 1590’s. Can these two distinctly different peoples learn that the divide can be crossed?
