Produktbeschreibung
A pilgrim maid: A story of Plymouth Colony in 1620 begins as a vessel prepares to leave the shores of England, carrying those who seek both freedom and survival across an unforgiving ocean. Among the voyagers is a young girl whose curiosity and quiet strength carry her through the long and uncertain crossing. As the decks bustle with final arrangements and hushed goodbyes, private tensions unfold in shadowed corners, particularly within strained familial dynamics that echo broader questions of authority and belonging. The narrative quickly anchors itself in the rigid shipboard routines and the emotional currents that surge beneath the pilgrims' stoic expressions. While salt air and shifting tides test the body, it is the emotional strain of the voyage that tests the spirit. Upon arrival, the raw land looms, offering promise and hardship in equal measure. Through changing seasons, unfamiliar customs, and the fragile beginnings of a settlement, the girl observes, adapts, and gradually discovers the shape of resilience. Encounters with both new landscapes and the evolving bonds between settlers begin to reshape her view of duty, independence, and the unspoken cost of hope.

Her literary work was distinguished by its accessibility to young readers and often carried moral or spiritual messages. She became a notable figure in early 20th-century American Catholic literature, producing works that aligned with religious values while also engaging young audiences through relatable characters and historical narratives. Taggart frequently set her stories against significant historical backdrops, blending educational content with imaginative storytelling. Her writing reflected a commitment to nurturing both intellect and virtue in children, and she played an important role in shaping Catholic children's literature during her time. She remained active throughout her life, contributing to numerous magazines and periodicals.
