This book was recommended to me and now I'm recommending it. It is filled with real life drama - there is definitely adventure and more. By sneaking aboard a Dutch ship that is headed to the New World. Many will be able to relate to this in the sense of something new being conquered. We live in a world to where we all often think about starting over and I am one who thinks that if we look more at what has happened in our past/history we can learn more about ourselves.Alfred is disheartened by the attitude of the sailors that he has set out with and he decides to stay in the New World for a new start. His story continues without being over the top, which is good. He wants to find himself in his own way and not be defined by what his family states he should be - a part of the new spirit of going to somewhere new. I felt I was still a viewer to history and not that I was purposely being entertained like on television.I'm wanting to know more and hope that this story continues. If you are a lover of history you will want to read this book.
