Saints & Strangers

Saints & Strangers is a novel that goes beyond the known historical history of Thanksgiving and the foundation of Plymouth Plantation, portraying the struggles and sorrows of the Plymouth settlers: 102 men, women, and children who left on a rented ship for a place they had never seen. Half of this group consists of religious separatists who left their former lifestyles for a single cause: religious freedom. The other half, the merchant adventurers, also known as "strangers," had less spiritual and more materialistic goals. This collision of values generated significant psychological conflicts for the group as they attempted to build a new colony, which were exacerbated by their complicated relationships with the indigenous Native American tribes. These groups' competing loyalties culminated in tests of assimilation, religion, and compromise that continue to characterize our society today.
