The Rich Woods 12+

📙 Can you imagine what your ancestors were doing over four hundred years ago? Perhaps they were important people; perhaps their actions had a bearing on a significant historical event. Charles Gill has traced his family that far back, and with a wonderful mix of historical fact and informed fiction, he has brought back to life ancestors who were previously just names in a register. Join Alecka as she starts a new life in 16th century France, where one of her children gets inadvertently involved with royalty. Re-live Abraham’s adventures in the Caribbean on his way to settling in America. Follow Abraham’s descendents as they struggle with the challenges of a new country. All through the ages, the family is followed by a painting of a young man. The origins of the painting are lost along the way, but it always seems as if the young man is watching over them and making sure the debt he owes his long forgotten savior is repaid in full.
