BOSTON, MA – New Word City LLC announces the publication of One Small Candle – The Pilgrims’ First Year in America by New York Times bestselling historian and novelist Thomas Fleming.

This vivid, deeply moving book begins in London in 1620 as Pilgrim representatives sign a contract to purchase the freighter Mayflower. We accompany them as they endure a harrowing voyage across the Atlantic, the rigors of the New England winter, and the ever-present threat of Indian attack as they desperately search for the home they eventually find at Plymouth. Once there, they must continue the struggle against brutal weather and disease.

With masterly skill, Fleming gives us life-size portraits of the Pilgrim leaders. The Pilgrims’ unique achievements – the Mayflower Compact, their tolerance of other faiths, the strict separation of church and state – are discussed in the context of the first year’s anxieties and crises. Fleming tells the story of William Bradford and Miles Standish, the younger men who emerged as the leaders of the colony. And he provides new insights into the deep humanity of the Pilgrims’ spiritual shepherd, Elder William Brewster.
