Running With The Wind: A tale of courage, love and survival aboard the Mayflower

by Dionne Haynes

Overview

Jedediah Trelawney has a secret. Revealing it could cost him his life.

Jedediah Trelawney joins a small, overcrowded ship bound for America. A young man from a privileged background, he struggles to adapt to life at sea. Determined to earn the respect of his fellow passengers, he undertakes arduous tasks alongside the crew, but Jed is not cut out for the life of a sailor.

Sickness is rife aboard the Mayflower. Inspired by Samuel Fuller, a self-taught physician, Jed develops a fascination with the healing arts. He thrives as Doctor Fuller's apprentice and challenges traditional ideas, seeking kinder methods for treating the sick.

Smitten by Desire Minter, Jed dreams of a future as a respected colony physician with Desire as his wife. Hostile passenger, John Billington, has other ideas. When Billington threatens to reveal Jed's past, Jed becomes the victim of bullying and bribery. Somehow, Jed must silence Billington for good, or risk losing everything - including his life.

A page-turning tale about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.

Editorial Reviews

'An extremely interesting story.' Federica Leonardis, Literary Agent

'The book is pacey and dives straight in with a slightly mysterious character and a murky past--all good things that pulled me into the main story. At no point was I page skimming, and all in all this was a very good, satisfying story with a great ending.' Daisy White, Author

'An engrossing novel, with a gripping plot, which holds the reader in suspense until the very end. The Pilgrims' journey across the Atlantic in the Mayflower is very well researched, and the author skilfully weaves historical fact with fictional elements of the story.' Helen Raven, Schoolteacher
