Daughter of Eve

by Noel B. Gerson

Here is the daring story no history text book could ever tell--about the unashamed love affair of the beautiful Pocahontas with the dashing opportunist called Captain John Smith, and how it plunged the Indian nations into war against the struggling Jamestown settlement and set the frontier ablaze.

Here is all the spectacle and savagery of that perilous time!

From the Chickahominy stronghold in the Virginia wilds to the intrigue of King James' court--this is the love and adventure story of the ages!

I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed this book! This is the second title by the author that I've read and both were extremely well written. Gerson has a wonderful way of vividly describing the thoughts, scenes, and emotions that make the story so engaging without being too cumbersome or flamboyant, and I flew through the book very fast. I loved the author's perspective on the story, and think this is one of the best examples of character development I've read. Fantastic book!
