At a young age, John Howland learned what it meant to make the most of a chance. Leaving the docks of London at the Mayflower as an indentured servant to Pilgrim John Carver, John Howland little knew that he was once embarking at the adventure of a life-time. By his great good fortune, John survived falling overboard at the crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, and he earned his keep ashore by helping to scout a secure harbor and landing website for his bedraggled and sick shipmates. Would his luck continue to hold amid the dangers and adversity of the Pilgrims’ lives in New England? John Howland’s tale is masterfully told in his own voice, bringing an immediacy and young viewpoint to the oft-told Pilgrims’ story. P.J. Lynch captures this pivotal moment in American history in precise and exquisite detail, from the light at the froth of a breaking wave to the questioning voice of a youngster in a new world.
