Mary Chilton was one of 102 passengers who stepped on board the Mayflower in the fall of 1620 for their long-awaited journey to the New World. This odd collection of "saints" and "strangers" sailed bravely together into the unknown. All Mary can think about is finally finding a home-a place to belong. As she experiences the adventure and hardship of the ocean voyaged, the struggle of starting the new Plymouth colony, and the happiness of the first harvest festival, she learns that "home" has a bigger meaning than she thought.
