Standing on the land where Mary resided in 1638, my imagination soared. I was compelled to tell her story.
Background
Information
I've always loved history and family stories. While I gathered facts and data, I often wondered why my ancestors frequently left everything behind and moved to totally unknown locales. To answer this question, I researched historical events and official court records to retrace their journey.
One research trip led me to Old Plantation Creek on Virginia's Eastern Shore where my direct ancestor, Mary (Willson) Pattenden first settled in America. Standing on the land where Mary resided in 1638, I looked around and my imagination soared. What was her life like? How did she face leaving her family? I suddenly felt compelled to write her life story so I searched court documents, books, and even visited England for clues and discovered information not typically found in American history books. Gradually, Mary's fictionalized life story evolved and RIBBON OF LOVE is the result. Her story is continued in my Tapestry of Love Series with FAITH AND COURAGE and FREEHEARTS
