Publisher Description
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.

Customer Reviews
What if…
Entrusted with such a peculiar treasure - he could only pray they would prove worthy.
This is a wonderful story of what ifs, well researched and giving plenty of historical detail. A natural progression from reading Elinor and Mary, this novel stands alone, but completes the story of the Lost Colony of Roanoke. What if there are those who can trace their roots back to that settlement?
There were those who wanted to learn more about the Natives, or Naturals as they were referred to, but unfortunately there were many who took advantage of them. The story of Pocahontas is not new to us, however the author takes her incredible research to bring us a different story of how she may have become such an important part of our history.
An early copy of this 3rd book in the Daughters of the Lost Colony was received through Barbour Publishing and NetGalley. These impressions are my own and were in no way solicited.
Christian Historical Fiction
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.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. I appreciate the opportunity and thank the author and publisher for allowing me to read, enjoy and review this book. 5 Stars
