Bookroo's summary

Constance, a fifteen-year-old with nothing left in England, embarks on the Mayflower seeking a new life. The ocean crossing proves treacherous, fraught with unforeseen dangers. As the ship battles the elements, Constance must confront the harsh realities of survival. Will she reach the New World, or will the sea claim her dreams? The stakes are high, and every wave brings new challenges. Dive into a gripping tale of hope, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of a future beyond the horizon.

From the publisher

Fifteen-year-old Constance is looking forward to a new life in the New World. There’s nothing left for her in England–no family and no future. She agrees to set sail on the Mayflower, along with her employer. But the ocean crossing is harder than anyone anticipated, and the journey is riddled with dangerous obstacles. Will Constance live to see the New World, or will she and the other passengers be lost at sea?
