The Overcoming - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Liza Simmons was born in 1665, the year of the Great Plague, to a mother banished from her own home. Liza went into service as a child and later accompanied her employer on the long journey to the New World - America. Gradually she became used to a way of life far removed from anything she had previously known and her future seemed settled - until her life was overtaken by events she was powerless to control. As Liza tells her story many people connected with her life offer their version of events, making this an unusual and compelling story. While it tells of the difficulties of life in one country and the hardships faced in making a life in another, it is essentially about a young woman discovering her own strength and overcoming the obstacles which life puts in her path.
