In the early colonies, this country was on the precipice of becoming an autocratic theocracy. A century and a half before Jefferson and Adams, the battle for democracy, freedom, and equal rights was sparked by a few people who are now lost and forgotten pieces of history.

Travel back to 1620s London, where hardworking and creative Samuel met Mary, a unique and highly educated woman. Their journey would lead them to the colonies, where they were ostracized and sentenced to death for introducing the fundamental principles modern Americans hold dear.

This fast-paced historical fiction will make you question your understanding of the founding years of this free nation. These pioneers created the template our founding fathers used to build America. Forefathers & Founding Fathers is an adventure, a love story, and a tale of great persistence—a tale that every American should know and yet most do not.
 
This expanded second edition explores even further into the lives of these impactful figures, giving a deeper perspective on their sacrifices and devotion to this country.
