A Parable Before Heathens Kindle Edition

5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars 1 rating

In the year 1587, one hundred and seventeen colonists cast ashore on Roanoke Island off the coast of modern-day North Carolina. Their primary aim was to establish a permanent English colony to be exploited as a foothold into the New World.

They failed. All souls were presumed lost, perhaps to violent ends, and their colony was relegated to infamy.

Before this tragedy was discovered, a second, clandestine expedition of settlers was mounted and sent across the Great Sea to buttress that first colony’s attempt. Rumors that they endured supernatural occurrences, greed, jealousy, desperate passions, and a futile struggle for power linger. To now, their true fate remains unknown.


As recounted from the journals of two young colonists,
A Parable Before Heathens reveals the same tale, entwining dissimilar perspectives of their destinies, and documenting this second expedition’s ultimate outcome.

    I thought this was an interesting and thought-provoking story. I enjoyed seeing the different points of view, and it was great watching the characters grow up and change, as well as watching their beliefs shift with time and their surroundings. It was entertaining and I think a lot of people would enjoy giving this book a try.
