About The Book
Based on the true life story of Anne Burras, First Lady of Jamestown
shares the excitement, sorrow, and grit of 17th Century Jamestown. When tragedy strikes, young Anne is left as the lone woman among hundreds of men in the fledgling Virginia colony, forced to forge a new life for herself despite the confines of her culture and gender. From heartache to love, and from tragic loss to heroic survival in the harshest of conditions, Anne's determination and fortitude through her life's challenges inspires all who learn of her story.
Readers have described First Lady of Jamestown as a riveting tale of early American settlement that is engaging, heart wrenching, and heartwarming. Discover Anne's life for yourself and witness the extraordinary capacity of an ordinary person who endured it all and became the first Englishwoman to survive the New World.
