Overview

CAPTURED by English Explorers, and later by slave traders, young Squanto experienced fear, loneliness, mistreatment, and disrespect. Spanish monks purchased him from the slave auction block, set him free, and cared for him. Years later, Squanto found passage on a ship to bring him home. He returned only to discover his village desolate and his entire tribe wiped out by smallpox. He wandered alone in the forest for months, and all seemed lost, yet God's purpose for redemption began to unfold. Squanto chose to remember the compassion shown to him by the monks instead of the injustice of the Englishmen and slave traders. He came back to live with another tribe and show compassion to the Mayflower pilgrims, which saved them from starvation.

Author Information

"MarJean and her husband of nearly fifty years live in Spokane, Washington. Their four children gave them seventeen amazing grandchildren. When their own children were still little, their daddy told them ""Chippy"" stories on many nights before bed. The family of chipmunks went on many crazy, fun-filled adventures that always taught them some of life-lesson. After their four children grew up, the stories continued for the grandchildren who begged for a Chippy story whenever Papa and Gramma visited and stayed over-night. The grandchildren got so into the stories that they kept making suggestions for the outcome, which Papa quickly incorporated into his seat-of-the-pants tall tales. Gramma's gifts never fell into Papa's extroverted, smooth talking, Tom-foolery yarns that kept the children in stitches. Perhaps someday those stories will find themselves into books, but until then Gramma uses her artistic talents to bring to you other adventures based on real-life people who still teach us essential values. Besides their family, MarJean and Conrad enjoy their two adorable Havanese pups, Smoky and Snickers-velcro dogs that never leave their sides, as well as their very noisy and sometimes obnoxious parakeets named Cheerio and Fruit Loop. Their adventurous lives span the Pacific Northwest, California, Canada, and Alaska, which gives them a rich variety of culture, friends, and experiences out of which to tell you stories."
