Virginia Dare: A Romance of the Sixteenth Century

Set against the uneasy dawn of England’s first overseas outpost, the story opens with Governor White’s desperate departure from Roanoke, leaving behind his newborn daughter—Virginia Dare—just ten days old. As the colony grapples with dwindling supplies, uneasy alliances, and the ever‑present threat of conflict with the native Croatoan people, the settlers’ faith is tested by harsh weather, superstition, and the bitter debates of men like Hopeful Kent and Master Bradford.

Amid the looming specter of a vanished settlement, the narrative follows the daily struggles of a small group of determined pioneers. Their conversations reveal a clash of idealism and practicality, while the infant’s presence becomes a quiet symbol of hope and uncertainty. Listeners are drawn into a vivid, historically rooted world where the promise of a new land meets the stark realities of survival and belief.
