About the Book

New 2nd edition - re-edited and revised in 2016

Inspired by actual people and historical events, Mary and Henry Pattenden flee to America to escape religious persecution - Will a special gift from her parents provide all Mary needs to face life in a new world?

The Pattenden's inspiring story begins in 17th century England during the reign of Charles I and continues with their journey to the eastern shore of Virginia where they experience joy, tragedy and loss.

Coming from diverse cultural backgrounds and separated from the mainland by the Chesapeake Bay, the real world of the settlers of "The Kingdom of Accawmacke" is revealed and secrets about America's history are discovered in this well-researched novel. Actual court records dating back to the early 1630s create historical accuracy as the reader is taken back to the primitive days of colonial America where the Pattendens encounter life-changing difficulties with Indians, ducking stools, illness, massacres, death, loneliness, love, and greed.

"We're all going to die!" echoed from below deck amid the frenzied screams and cries from terrified women and children between decks. Sounds of chaos below deck filled the air as the hands scrambled to free the foremast before it broke through the ship. "Quickly, men" We need to free that fore-mast now!" bellowed Captain Potts. "But, by God be careful, we don't want to lose another man!"

REVIEW FROM READER:

Ribbon of Love is a wonderful love story of Henry and Mary living and struggling to succeed as one of the first families in the colony of Virginia in the 1600s. In addition to the love story, the descriptions of the clothing, home furnishings, personalities, family life, church, and community are most intriguing. The exhilarating action and subplots keep the reader in constant anticipation. It is almost impossible to put the book down until completion. Dr. Don P. Brandon, Retired Professor, Anderson University, Anderson, Indiana

About the Author:

Donna R. Causey, native of Alabama, ventures into the world of historical fiction with her first series, Tapestry of Love. The family's destiny continues in the second series, The Cottinghams,

Donna developed the websites www.alabamapioneers.com and www.daysgoneby.me to share and preserve historical treasures she discovered.

She states:

Historical facts only provide snippets of information into the daily lives of our ancestors. I've always loved to imagine and recreate our ancestors lives in my mind. After I made a research trip to the Eastern Shore of Virginia and stood on the ground where young Mary Willson settled with her husband in 1638, I was compelled to tell her life story.
