I have very much enjoyed this series. I really hate to see it end!
There's some fine writing going on here, and the descriptions of scenes from the story made me feel like I was there.
I didn't want the story to end.
I finished this one in a day. I had to read what happened next. I wasn't disappointed at all.
I think most men, including natives gives their wives pet names.
I think this may be the reason for all the different names. I could be wrong, though. I found it rather enduring, sweet.
I loved "visualizing " how the land might have looked before industrialization took over.
A few surprises and twists along the way.
It's definitely a can't put down book!
I'm a forever fangirl of this author. Ever since the True Crime series.
I can't wait to see what she writes next! This is a keeper for sure!
5 stars for a job well done! I highly recommend it.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

This is the story of Pocahontas, whom I had no idea until now was renamed Rebecca. The author has done an incredible amount of research, as she has with each installment of this series, to make the historic fiction as near-to-life as possible, and it pays off with a richly-developed setting, characters, and complex plot. We get the story of John Smith and Pocahontas, plus their friends and family, woven together in a diverse narrative. One issue I had a problem with while reading was the fluid use of names...it seemed like the same people kept changing names, and that made it a struggle to connect sometimes.

Rebecca is the perfect finish for Shannon McNear’s Daughters of the Lost Colony series. McNear explores the possibilities of what may have happened and intertwines it with the history we know to weave a story rich in historical detail and peopled with complex characters. A must-read for anyone who enjoyed Elinor and Mary.

When I was a child I have always felt a connection with the Pocahontas character, for me having ascendency with native indingenous people from my country, so every story with tht kind of content always catches my attention. And this novel is fictional great telling about the real life inspiration from one of the most famous women of the north america.

Rebecca is a fictional historical novel about the life of Pocahontas (also known as Mato 'aka and Rebecca). I've always loved the heroic story of Pocahontas, mainly because my great-great grandmother was a Native American from the Miami tribe. Her name was Little Flower, which is also the fictional name for Pocahontas's little sister in this novel. Because of that, I felt a personal connection to this novel. I was very impressed with the amount of research that was done because it is difficult to find accurate accounts of historical people from this time. But based off what I have read and what I can remember from John Smith's journals, the chronological order of events that include him are accurate. However, I did get a bit lost in some of the language and name changes. It would have helped to have a glossary or summary of the different main characters and all the names they go by at the beginning of the book and some translations at the bottom of the page in asterisks, rather than having to flip all the way to the back of the book (especially in reading an eBook). I really did appreciate having the information included, but I didn't realize it was there until I was done with the book. It would've been a great help in understanding what was going on and who was talking.

I also appreciated this exchange between Wahunsenecawh and his brother when he called his wife (Pocahontas's mother) by his new name he gave her, and his brother said, '"Good Woman? Was she not Swan, before?"
"I may call my wives whatever name I wish," Wahunsenecawh said, and his brother laughed again.'

It made me laugh because I had the same problem keeping track of all the name changes! Overall, I really liked this book because it was very interesting to see Pocahontas's journey of faith into becoming "Rebecca".

Thank you Netgalley and Barbour Publishing for the advanced reader copy of this eBook! These opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed the overall Daughters of the Lost Colony series, this entry did everything that I was looking for from the series. I was invested in the characters and thought it worked well overall in the time-period. I enjoyed the way Shannon McNear created this story and it had a great style going on. It left me wanting to read more from Shannon McNear and from this series.

"Still chuckling, Wahunsenecawh extended a hand. “Leave Paspahae and come dwell by me on my river.” He waited for the interpreter to translate. “I will give you Capahowasic, and will give you pegatawah, wutapantam, and whatever else is necessary to feed you. You will make me hatchets and copper, and none shall disturb you.”
