YA
A dalliance between Sir Walter Ralegh and Lady Cate leads Queen Elizabeth to exile the young woman to the Roanoke Colony. As Cate struggles to survive, her attachments to England and Ralegh fade. Though the romance thread is unconvincing, the story, seen through the eyes of a Croatoan Indian, a colonist, and an imperialist explorer, provides thoughtful perspective on the Lost Colony.
