A bestselling tale of passion and belief, magic and adventure from
the author of The Secret Chord and of March, winner of the Pulitzer
Prize. Bethia Mayfield is a restless and curious young woman
growing up in Martha's vineyard in the 1660s amid a small band of
pioneering English Puritans. At age twelve, she meets Caleb, the
young son of a chieftain, and the two forge a secret bond that
draws each into the alien world of the other. Bethia's father is a
Calvinist minister who seeks to convert the native Wampanoag, and
Caleb becomes a prize in the contest between old ways and new,
eventually becoming the first Native American graduate of Harvard
College. Inspired by a true story and narrated by the irresistible
Bethia, Caleb's Crossing brilliantly captures the triumphs and
turmoil of two brave, openhearted spirits who risk everything in a
search for knowledge at a time of superstition and ignorance.
