About

In 1620 four young ladies-Diana, Sallie Mae, Faith, and Prudence-strangers to one another and each hiding secrets, board a Bride Ship in England bound for the New World. Seeking love, husbands, and the adventure of a lifetime, the girls are instead swept into a maelstrom of lies, treachery, and deceit. Upon arriving in Jamestown, they are shocked to discover that someone in the colony wants one, or all of them, dead.

Diana bravely sets aside her grief to unravel the mystery before the killer strikes again. When all clues point to the most likable and highly respected Jamestown colonist, Diana knows that here in the New World, where women must remain silent and submissive, no one will believe her. Yet as she meticulously uncovers long-hidden secrets, she knows that saying nothing makes her part of the lie. When charges of witchcraft are leveled against one of the girls, Diana boldly speaks out in her defense.

Despite the turmoil in their lives, each girl still longs for love, a husband, and a new life. With the lies and treachery spinning out of control, the final shocking event stuns the entire colony. Will every secret now come to light? Or are the most horrific best left buried?
