Three books in three days! I am mildly impressed with myself even if they are meant for younger children.
Anyways, I was not sure what this third installment of Elizabeth's journal would concern since the most difficult time of her life at the Jamestown Colony had seemed to pass in the last book. This diary really focusing on Elizabeth as well as others settling into their lives in the colony. There is now strong leadership (perhaps a little too strong) and the colony is thriving. Elizabeth no longer has to worry about what she will eat for her new meal or if any of her friends will die over night. This diary highlights all of the settlers coming together to do the work of the colony so that everyone can live comfortable. The relations with the Indians being to be mended and Elizabeth is beginning to see how her life will play out in America.
I was pleased with this first My America series, I hope the others fall in Patricia Hermes footsteps!
