THE LETTER takes place in 1617 in Jamestown Virginia when a daring deception leads to dangerous passion in a riveting blend of romance, intrigue, and adventure. Marilyn Clay's acclaimed Jamestown novel THE LETTER will keep readers turning pages long into the night.
Desperate to escape a marriage arranged by her aristocratic London guardians and to wed her childhood sweetheart, beautiful but innocent Catherine Parke secretly boards a ship bound for the New World. But the shock of what greets Catherine in Jamestown nearly destroys her.
Although Catherine knows that adherence to strict moral codes rule the colonists’ lives, she soon discovers that beneath their proper facades not all is as it seems. Disappointments and disasters repeatedly test Catherine's strength and courage, but a burning desire to uncover the truth drives her to unravel a confusing web of lies and deceit.
With her own life in jeopardy, Catherine is drawn to the one man who can save her, but wonders if she can trust him, or will she be swept into an unknown and terrifying wilderness, once again loving the wrong man and paying dearly for it?
MARILYN CLAY's suspenseful and compelling tale of one courageous woman determined to forge a new life for herself in a frightening and dangerous New World is an irresistible combination of suspense and romance. Vivid historical details bring the Jamestown settlement and Indian villages to life. THE LETTER is well researched, fast-paced and brimming with unexpected twists and turns.
