Marguerite Williams Makes a Choice: A 15-Minute Heroes in History Book

A man had come to her mother. He had said that he was there to take Margie home. When he said home, he meant her other family.

Margie thought about her other family. She had been born in 1696. Her father was a minister. Her mother kept a pioneer home. They had named her Eunice Williams. 

She was a Puritan girl. Her family lived in a small village in Massachusetts. It was called Deerfield.

Margie had been happy there. Life was good.

She remembered her first mother. She thought of her brothers and sisters. There had been five of them at home. There were three boys and two girls. Only one boy was younger than Margie.

Then she remembered that horrible day, and the horrible month that followed. She was seven then.

Find out what happened on that horrible day, and the choice young Marguerite must make in this exciting 15-minute book.
