Almost Home: A Story Based on the Life of the Mayflower's Mary Chilton

by Wendy Lawton

Daughters of the Faith Series.  Mary Chilton was one of the 102 passengers who stepped on board the Mayflower in the fall of 1620 for their long-waited journey to the New World.  This odd collection of "saints" and "strangers" sailed bravely together into the unknown.  All Mary can think about is finally finding a home- a place to belong. As she experiences the adventure and hardship of the ocean voyage, and the happiness of the first harvest, she learns that home has a bigger meaning than she thought.  Softcover ·143 pgs.· Ages 9-12.
