Tom Slade's New Book 'Escaping to America' is a Riveting Novel That Chronicles the Voyage of a Ship to a Land of Promise Away From Tyranny
CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 4, 2020 (Newswire.com) - Tom Slade, a prolific radio, television, and newspaper journalist, has completed his new book, “Escaping to America”: a galvanic narrative that tells of a shipwright who, along with impoverished citizens of England, embarks on a sea travel toward America in hopes of rebuilding themselves a new society.
Tom writes, “Certain regions of England were ravaged by disease, unemployment, and poverty in the early 1600s. A shipbuilder in Southampton struggled financially but lived out his dream—to build one more ship that would travel to a new world and deliver nearly a hundred people, most of them peasants, to a land called America, a place where they could escape from the iron rule of the king and the dictates of the Church of England. After surviving a tortuous two-month journey across three thousand miles of ocean, the weary passengers finally stepped off the ship named Trinity, felt solid earth beneath their feet and, after giving thanks to God for their safe arrival, set about establishing a system of self-governance and the building of a new settlement.”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Tom Slade’s new book follows the meandering circumstances of poverty-stricken people as they pursue a life in the green pastures of a foreign land despite the pangs of uncertainty for tomorrow’s outcome.
This book displays the sentiments of hopeful settlers in search of a new harbor where survival is assured, and progress is believed to thrive.
Readers can purchase “Escaping to America” at bookstores everywhere or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble.
