Leave a comment, stating which book you desire, and a way I can contact you. I only give away ONE. On the last day of the month, Jazzy the Japanese Chin will choose a winner from her dog bowl. This will occur at mine and her convenience, no set time.
Good luck, all!
My ancestor, Stephen Hopkins was on that ship!!!!!

He was going to be executed but he pleaded that it would be too difficult for his family to survive without him. I didn't know that this book had been written. My ancestor Shakespeare's's mutiny inspired Tempest!
Even if I don't win, I am very grateful to you for introducing this book!

Carol, your ancestor is in the book. No joke. He's a troublemaker. LOL. I can't believe this. Way cool! I just double checked the name. It's one and the same.

Yes, I know he was a troublemaker. He and his family came over on the Mayflower later and he was constantly getting into arguments.
