Constance and the Dangerous Crossing

Fifteen-year-old Constance is looking forward to a new life in the New World. There's nothing left for her in England--no family and no future. She agrees to set sail on the Mayflower, along with her employer. But the ocean crossing is harder than anyone anticipated, and the journey is riddled with dangerous obstacles. Will Constance live to see the New World, or will she and the other passengers be lost at sea?
