"If the letter had arrived just one day later, there would have been nothing Catherine Parke could have done. The letter was from her father, who, along with her brother Adam and her beau, Noah Colton, left England for the New World six years ago. Catherine's father now wants her to join them, but the very next day, Catherine's guardians arrange for her to marry a wealthy London merchant. Fortunately, a chance meeting with Princess Pocahontas, who is visiting London, gives Catherine the means to set sail for Jamestown. Once Catherine arrives in the colony, she discovers her father is dead, and Noah, who had promised to wait for her, is married to another woman. With her dreams for a new life as Noah's wife crumbling around her, Catherine realizes it's up to her to survive in the New World."--Booklist.
