In Jamie's own words: "Pulitzer Prize Winning author Geraldine Brooks has taken a remarkable shard of history — the first Native American to attend Harvard — and created a beautiful tale of faith and adventure, grounded in a strong sense of place. Told from they eyes of the young Bethia Mayfield, growing up in the tiny settlement of Great Harbor amid a small band of pioneers and Puritans, Bethia proves an irresistible guide to the wilds of Martha’s Vineyard and the intimate spaces of the human heart. This book explores human relationships with the land, the intersection of religion and spirituality, and the differences between Western education and Native knowledge in gorgeous descriptions of the island's glistening beaches and its original native Wampanoag inhabitants."
