Description

Consider the courage of struggling immigrants, slaves, lovers, families to live to tell the tale against all odds. Consider immigrants taking over a land, and with nary a thought, overrunning those who lived there first. Consider death sentences for disobeying harsh religious codes. Consider floggings for the sin of loving somebody of a different skin color. Consider your labor, your life and your very soul cruelly dangled in front of your eyes, only to have them snatched away. Consider you, the new conqueror, copying your past hateful masters and stealing others’ freedoms. Yes, this exists today in 2017, but it is usually the timeless story of the Hanscome circle of relatives in 17th century New England.

Orphaned, unsure and suspicious Thomas Hanscombe arrives in Salem in 1629 at age eleven with Joan, his soothing older sister; her optimistic husband, Richard Claydon; and his younger brother, love-smitten Barnaby. They suffer hardships akin to slavery by the hands of the Puritans as indentured servants, but their indomitable spirits persevere. They brutally kill and are killed. They fear, love, laugh, hate, desire, lie, create, give protection to, enslave and die. They grab their destinies irrespective of sex, race or religion.

The backbone of The UnPuritans is based on the factual genealogy of the first three generations of Hanscomes, the creator’s ancestors.
