The Mayflower Marriage

Ms. Dare has created a living history of the beginning of our American experience. This is not a dry rendition. She writes beautifully of the humanity, the challenges, the drama, drawing the historical figures and their circumstances in vibrant colors. Well worth the read!

I thoroughly loved The Mayflower Marriage! It could become the next great Gone With the Wind movie or a riveting series so more than readers could benefit from the epic. The way you carefully described and brought alive the participants and their experiences made their story so real and hard to take at times--because it was so alive, glorious and gut wrenching. What a history we have survived and thrived beyond! I can't even imagine what a triumph it is to have completed this amazing book.

This historical novel featured strong, interesting characters and a different spin on early America. Sometimes disturbing, often uplifting, it was a story worth reading, but a bit too long for me.

I absolutely loved reading The Mayflower Marriage from beginning to end. I felt as though I was living with the settlers; I could hear the way they spoke and I experienced their hardships. It is a wonderful story of good people and their love, endurance, sadness and joy. It is one of those rare books that lives with you when you are reading it, you can't wait to return to it and you really miss it when it is finished.

Now that I have finished the book I feel quite lost, missing the lives of all the characters. Here's hoping Ms Dare will soon produce a sequel so I can return to the life of the new, New England and see how the next generations get on.
