Publisher's summary

It was the year 1740 and Alexander Joyce, a Scots-Irish settler, was living in absolute misery. As he watched the misty hillside of County Down, Ireland, he pondered on all of the hardships he had grown accustomed to throughout the years. From famine, religious persecution, and political persecution, he had experienced much. But now, he was facing his most challenging obstacle yet. Left with little choice, he would soon embark on the journey of a lifetime, and leave his old life behind. And as he sailed for the American colonies on the choppy ocean, he had no idea of what awaited him in colonial Virginia and North Carolina. But what kind of life did he make for himself in the New World? And what new trials lay ahead? This is his story.

Revisionist Fantasy

Being an amateur historian, I had high hopes for this book. Unfortunately, it is a poor attempt by the author to rewrite his family history in a more favorable light. The book persistently refers to his ancestor’s slaves as “our African friends” who his family educated and were kind to. This is utter nonsense, of course and makes a complete farce out of a complicated and sensitive topic.
