In 1665, a young man from Martha's Vineyard became the first Native American to graduate from Harvard College. Upon this slender factual scaffold, she has created a luminous tale of love and faith, magic and adventure. The narrator of the story is Bethia Mayfield, growing up in the tiny settlement of Great Harbor amid a small band of pioneers and Puritans. Restless and curious, she yearns after an education that is closed to her by her sex. As often as she can, she slips away to explore the island's glistening beaches and observe its native Wampanoag inhabitants. At twelve, she encounters Caleb, the young son of a chieftain, and the two forge a tentative secret friendship that draws each into the alien world of the other. Bethia's minister father tries to convert the Wampanoag, awakening the wrath of the tribe's shaman, against whose magic he must test his own beliefs. One of his projects becomes the education of Caleb, and a year later, Caleb is in Cambridge, studying Latin and Greek among the colonial elite. There, Bethia finds herself reluctantly indentured as a housekeeper and can closely observe Caleb's crossing of cultures. Like the author's beloved narrator Anna, in Year of Wonders, Bethia proves an emotionally irresistible guide to the wilds of Martha's Vineyard and the intimate spaces of the human heart.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Brooks Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction Brooks Lost 06/27/2017 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Brooks Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Brooks Checked out 05/29/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Fiction Brooks Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Brooks Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction BROOKS Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Brooks Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Fiction Brooks Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Fiction Brooks Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
