This popular account of some of the immigrants' lives who came over to current day Massachusetts on the Mayflower in 1620 seems well-researched and well-intentioned, but the writing style was not to my taste - it took me out of the narrative too much, and/or was overly religious and laudatory, peppered with exclamations. You may enjoy it more than I did, however, and there were a lot of interesting insights into who lived and died in the first few years of their colony, how the Strangers and Separatists got along, and how their religion compared to that held by those English that settled in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the following years.

I did appreciate the attention paid to gender roles, marriage, and sexuality!
