Kellan

by Karen Evans Odell, Charels Odell (Editor)

As a young boy in the summer of 1666, a horrible killing disease, the plague, came nearer, and nearer to Kellan's family. His family, trapped by the official closing English ports, and travel by ship, turned his parents to desperate means to move their children away from the spreading disease. As the oldest, Kellan was sent farthest away, where all were complete strangers. But the journey became an adventure that no one had not anticipated. Kellan' first met Liam, who taught him the use of a coracle as they traveled to a western Welsh port where a privateer ship awaited, and that was only the beginning of his adventure. Suddenly, the rescue of Mother O'Neil and other children were dependent upon the perseverance of Kellan, Kathleen, and the dog, Jason, who each have promised to protect secrets of their own. This book of fiction is based upon true historical happenings and places. The book was written by a grandmother for her grandson. Some of the places depicted were actual sites of family ancestry.
