Produktbeschreibung

Author Cissy Hunt takes on the persona of her ancestress Eleanor Billington, and through extensive research of diaries and ship logs, recreates the voyage of the Mayflower to the New World.

Through her diary entries, Eleanor recounts the struggles and hardships of the Mayflower passengers in vivid and poignant entries, taking the reader along on a true Freedom's Voyage.

The story of a woman, Eleanor, who gave up everything to travel across the ocean to a new world in search of a new life... As Eleanor Billington gazed across the sea, looking for a ship to appear on the horizon, doubt assailed her. Were she and her husband, John, doing the right thing for their family? They had made the momentous decision to search for a new life in the New World, but now, on the dock, among the crates that held their belongings, she wondered if the promise of becoming landowners was worth leaving behind home, family and friends.

As passengers on the Mayflower, the couple and their two sons would endure adversity that threw their new life in doubt -- severe weather, sickness, even death accompany them on their voyage to freedom.

Autorenporträt

I grew up, attended school, and spent my young adult life around and in central Louisiana. I have been a Licensed Practical Nurse for over thirty-five years, during part of that time I was a travel nurse. Now I live with my husband in Northwest Arkansas in the beautiful Ozark Mountains with our three Pomeranian dogs and two cats. We live out of town in the country, where I fell in love with the peace and beauty of the area. We live a simple life in that we love to night fish and work in our yard. I have been an ordained minister since August of 2007. I am called to minister to hurting women who carry the emotional scars of domestic abuse. The statistics show that: One in four women (25%) has experienced domestic violence in her lifetime. •Between 600,000 and 6 million women are victims of domestic violence each year. •Women ages 20-24 are at the greatest risk of nonfatal intimate partner violence. • Between 1993 and 2004, intimate partner violence on average made up 22% of nonfatal intimate partner victimization against women. For as long as I can remember I have always loved to write. Growing up a shy person, when I couldn't express myself verbally, one only had to hand me a pen and paper and out would flow my thoughts. I have written poetry most of my life and now my life-long dream has come true. I have written a book. My book, A Rose Blooms Among the Thorns, is about a woman's journey from domestic abuse, through healing, to forgiveness. At this time I am working on another faith based book.
