'Like the fiction of films or costumed re-enactments, Sue Allan's historical novel takes us beyond court records and official memoirs to conversations and emotions whose reality went unrecorded. Cleverly noticing the Pilgrim Fathers least studied by historians, Sue invents a tale of adventure and romance that lets us imagine the life of a maidservant who chose to join the Mayflower Pilgrims. Well-researched and evocative portrayals of Gainsborough Old Hall and the Pilgrim Country of Nottinghamshire will make you want to visit the home of her heroine Dorothy yourself.'
 ---- Jeremy Bangs, Director, Leiden American Pilgrim Museum

The Mayflower Maid

This heroic story of love and adventure is set against the back drop of the turbulent times of the USA's origins. It was a period  of sustained persecution for a group of people known in English History as 'the 'Separatists' and to the Americans as The Pilgrim Fathers.

This book is written by established English author, Sue Allan, in association with American writer, Roger Vorhauer. For the very first time, here is a fully rounded, bi-national, ‘un-sanitized’ epic account of true events leading up to the Mayflower’s monumentally important voyage. This saga is at last faithfully retold in a way that makes history come to life, through the  fictionalization of the action-packed life and  love of one of it’s more humble  passengers, Dorothy ~ the Mayflower Maid.
