- Synopsis
- Debbie Endicott was only a child when her family left Scrooby, England, to seek a new home and religious freedom in Leyden, Holland. At times it was difficult for her to remember she was English, even though Father--for whom she now kept house--was a leader in the affairs of the English colony. Many of the English folk had begun to feel the time had come to move on to a new land, where their children could be brought up in a truly English fashion, and where they could establish their own government. Debbie's joy in skating on the frozen canals, her pleasure and excitement in making friends with Raquel Forteza, the daughter of a wealthy Spanish family, her triumph in outwitting the King's men who were searching for Master William Brewster were overshadowed by her knowledge that Father might want to set out for the new and distant land to which the Speedwell and the Mayflower were sailing. In the end, when Debbie must make her own decision about the journey, it was Raquel's wise old grandmother who helped her to make the choice. Miss Daringer, whose gift for recreating people and periods is well- known from her earlier books, Adopted Jane; Mary Montgomery, Rebel; and Pilgrim Kate, has made a fresh contribution to a fuller understanding of our American heritage.
