Just a wonderful read. Read it once and then wait awhile and read it again.
Deborah Bachiler Wing stepped off the William and Francis Ship in 1632 as a widow of a Puritan Minister, with her four sons and her irascible father,
the Rev. Stephen Bachiler, also a Puritan minister.
They were escaping their native England in search of religious freedom – something that sadly would elude them. Deborah’s husband, the Rev. John Wing was “harried from the kingdom” by King James’ officials, and church leaders often abused Rev. Bachiler. “ Goody Wing is an astounding achievement …Beverly Vorpahl has done what many a family historian only dream of doing: through the medium of historical fiction, she has brought a remarkable ancestor to life… It is Vorpahl’s insightful portrayal of her ancestor’s lives that keeps the reader turning the pages.” Only $23.00 plus $3.00 shipping and handling. |
