To Have and to Hold by Mary Johnston

Summary: To Have and to Hold is historical fiction, portraying the lives of the first settlers at Jamestown, and it is one of my favorite books.? I’m so thrilled it is now available so we can offer it to you on My Audio School!

Full of exciting twists and turns, the language is so well-rendered that it is truly a pleasure to read. There were many times I found myself repeating certain phrases which seemed almost musical to my ear.

More than that, however, the book gives us heroes and heroines, as well as villains, to consider. To Have and to Hold, as its title would suggest, portrays a beautiful picture of the sanctity of marriage and of the nobility of a wife who embraces her husband’s vision, as well as a husband who cherishes his wife, even as he valiantly fights for her against all odds. You’ll gain a greater understanding of–and appreciation for–what the forefathers of our nation went through to forge the heritage we now enjoy. (Summary by Molly Evert)
