Starred review for CATE OF THE LOST COLONY
"This robust, convincing portrait of the Elizabethan world with complex, rounded characters wraps an intriguingly plausible solution to the 'lost colony' mystery inside a compelling love story of subtle thematic depth." --Kirkus Reviews
CATE was an Editor's Choice of the Historical Novels Review, November 2010
