Volume I · Aboard the COMMERCE
Kelly
Kelly learns just enough about the world beyond her village to imagine opportunities that will stay just out of reach. She dreams of comfort, status and the respect, even the envy, of her friends.
But in colonial America, a young woman needs a “ticket” out of village life. Could the crew of the COMMERCE be hers?
Kelly’s challenge
Can she find the future of wealth and status she imagines, given the limits of village life?
For today’s reader
Can a person overcome a start in life with far more disadvantages than advantages? How hard is it to change your circumstances?
