The discovery tests Squanto's faith but does not destroy it (""As he pondered the great sorrow in his heart, he talked to God""). Finally, in 1618, he arrives home, only to find his village wiped out by disease. His friends are sold into slavery, ""but God had another plan for Squanto."" Monks purchase Squanto and teach him their beliefs, then entrust him to a kind man in London until he can find passage back to America.
Beginning with Squanto's kidnapping, at age 12, by the Spanish from his Patuxet village in 1608, Metaxas (The Birthday ABC) follows him to M laga, Spain.
This paper-over-board picture book biography approaches the holiday from an evangelical point of view.
