Overview

Martha - The Vineyard Legend Legends live in the wind, the waves - and one girl's heart. In the early 1600s, on the island known as Noepe, a mixed-race girl named Martha grows up between two worlds - one shaped by colonial rule, the other by Wampanoag tradition. She understands languages others do not. She notices what others overlook - and she hears the land whispering in ways no one else can. When a mysterious man arrives by ship and long-buried truths begin to surface, Martha is drawn into a journey that will test her courage, her loyalty, and her place in the only home she has ever known. As whispers of betrayal, captivity, and ancient power stir beneath the island, she must uncover the truth of her past to protect what remains of her future.
