A family miss the boat from Southampton. They can board in Plymouth, but the problems don’t end there. Stars Trystan Gravelle.

Fleeing religious persecution, Sarah Hargreaves and her family have risked everything to escape across the ocean.

Bbut when they get to Southampton, the Mayflower has already sailed.

Finally they manage to get on board at Plymouth, and though Matthew Hargreaves believes it is God's will that has saved them, Sarah knows it is her own wily determination. That and the help of a kind sailor called Saul.

Safely aboard ship their adventure really begins.

But conditions are cramped, and their daughter Elizabeth is very sick.

Adrian Bean's gripping story about one family's journey into the unknown.
