Can you imagine what your ancestors were doing over four hundred
years ago? Perhaps they were important people; perhaps their
actions had a bearing on a significant historical event. Charles
Gill has traced his family that far back, and with a wonderful mix
of historical fact and informed fiction, he has brought back to
life ancestors who were previously just names in a register. Join
Alecka as she starts a new life in 16th century France, where one
of her children gets inadvertently involved with royalty. Re-live
Abraham's adventures in the Caribbean on his way to settling in
America. Follow Abraham's descendents as they struggle with the
challenges of a new country. All through the ages, the family is
followed by a painting of a young man. The origins of the painting
are lost along the way, but it always seems as if the young man is
watching over them and making sure the debt he owes his long
forgotten savior is repaid in full.
