  A story about faith, heroism and inspiration, this true narrative recounts the lives and adventures of the people who made the voyage in the Mayflower in 1620. The book recounts the events that led a group of Puritan Separatists to seek a new life in an unknown land, the struggles and adversities that were confronted and the difficulties of the voyage itself. It traces the extreme hardships of the early years, which could not have been overcome without the help of Native Americans. It also explores the significance of the voyage in the development of the United States of America, and shows how the ideals and beliefs of the Pilgrim Fathers came to inform the culture and constitution of the United States today.
