That awkward moment when you discover Pocahontas didn't actually end up with John Smith...
I really enjoyed this book. Pocahontas was truly an amazing girl and changed history - like seriously. Such a brave young girl - saving John Smith from her tribe when she was only 10! She did end up marrying someone else named John, ironically, and she ended up staying in England (interesting!) She had a son with him, Thomas - I'd kind of like to trail her family line and see if there's anyone around related to her!! She died at the age of 20, which is so sad. So many extraordinary people died to young back then from simple things because they didn't have the medical know-how to prevent it.
I would give this one 4/5. It was great! Informative, inspirational, emotional, had action, some romance and was fairly close to what actually happened.
The movie Pocahontas is pretty off haha, but they captured her spirit and bravery well.
This is also a great book if you're looking for real-life transformations by God also. She was changed by God and became a very Godly woman. Reading this book just made me love her more honestly. Worth a read!!
