The time is the very early 1800s, and war rages on all sides of England and its empire. But even war presents an economic opportunity when you know where to look... especially in North America. So come with us as we board the good ship Sowenna for a journey across the wild North Atlantic to a new home and a new opportunity in a wild and unforgiving place called Newfoundland (now, along with Labrador, making up Canada's tenth province). Join in this light-hearted look at the adventures of Sir David Braxton, the indomitable Thomas Stark, the fiery Meg, and her sassy cousin Sal as they set out on their journey to battle on-board mysteries, pirates, double-crossers, murder, storms, and even icebergs, to settle and live in a land where opportunities abound, but hard work and ingenuity is the order of the day. It is an adventure, you will NEVER forget. Author's Note: This is a loosely based story about my great-great-grandfather's arrival in Newfoundland from England in the early 1800s.
