Rebecka’s Birth of a Soldier

Rebecka’s tragic life begins in seventeenth century colonial New England.

The settlers struggle to establish villages throughout the beautiful landscapes of the newly discovered world. Pressures to survive and thrive in this environment are overwhelming. This was a time when it was dangerous to be born a girl.

Will Rebecka survive both childbearing and the oppressive society rules? Superstitious fears are the cause of many societal mistakes as Rebecka struggles with the implausible loss of many friends and family members.

Spirituality factors into this haunting story, which is intermingled with religion.

Rebecka’s Birth of a Soldier is a thought-provoking memoir of one woman’s struggle for justice and equality hundreds of years before woman had neither.

This book is based on the life of the author’s ancestor, but it is a work of fiction. The details in this story are the imagination of the author.
