The worst thing about this book, for me, is that it's the final one in this series. I've so loved journeying back to the Outer Banks and the days of the Lost Colony with McNear as she's brought a 'possible history' to life through each of her stories. They are extraordinarily well-researched and bring both the era and the setting to life for the reader. In Virginia, the little girl from Elinor has grown up and is taken captive by natives. She finds herself as she finds her way back home, both to her family and herself, and she shares her faith with others along the way.
