Seeking Eden
“I felt that I had entered the Garden of Eden and
found the serpent coiled at its heart.”
1683 – Will and Susanna, inspired by William
Penn’s vision of a Quaker colony in America, set off
with their family to begin a new life overseas. In
Philadelphia they hope to be free of the persecution
they suffered for so long in England.
Their son Josiah yearns for adventure. He gains
an apprenticeship with the merchant George Bainbrigg
and falls in love with his daughter, Katherine. The
three sail to Barbados on business.
Only then does Josiah learn the truth about
Bainbrigg’s work and realise that the struggle to
uphold his own beliefs is just beginning.
The third book in the Quaker Trilogy.
