THE STORY OF THE SON OF A LEGEND AND HIS SEARCH FOR PEACE
Thomas was the orphaned baby son of Pocahontas and John Rolfe who were lovers on opposite sides of the warring nations of 17th century Virginia.
When his mother was murdered in London, he was abandoned by his grief stricken father and raised by his English grandparents. They kept their distance from him, unable to come to terms with his Powhatan heritage. From then on, Thomas made it his mission to find a family to which he could truly belong without prejudice.
He travelled across the sea to the New World searching for his destiny, but being a product of conflicting cultures, his handsome but striking appearance ignited racism from all sides.
Establishing a connection with his Powhatan brother and uniting their families in peace would fulfil the legacy his mother gave her life for. But being of mixed blood, how could he unite the two races when he did not belong to either? How could he be a part of one without alienating the other? Would marrying for duty cement the peace he strived for, or would peace come from where he least expected it?
