Elizabeth, along with the other books in this series, is a saga about a real-life American family. The story traces the lives of the Arundells from England to moving to America and what they encounter along the way. It's a story of love, ambition, trials, and life-transitions. This is a book and series of American Historical Fiction based loosely on a real-life family, the author's own family.
Elizabeth was married into the family, but that is what gives her a unique perspective on the Arundells. She went from rags to riches, and then followed her man, Peter, to travel across the Atlantic and go to Virginia in 16??, along with their three children. The book, Elizabeth, is about what they experience and how they are forever changed because of their travels and time in Virginia in Buckroe.
The Arundells, and other relatives, have fought in every war since their first landing at Jamestown Settlement and continues today. The series starts in 1597, but takes a look back to when their relative, John Arundell first goes to Roanoke with Sir Richard Grenville, his half-brother.
This series is about Virginia just as much as it is about the United States of America. It was in Virginia that was the first permanent English settlement, but in Yorktown was where the nation was fought for and won in the last decisive battle of the American Revolutionary War. Virginia is the real birthplace of the USA and has more history than most of the other 49 states combined.
The Arundells will grab your heart, help solidify your faith, and will help grow your patriotism and knowledge of American history, as you follow the family through the sunshine and clouds of life.
