"Lora Chilton's 1666: A Novel is an historically accurate, horrific, moving chronicle of the devastation wrought on the indigenous population by white settlers in early America. The author manages to take large dollops of shocking history and fashion them into a narrative that moves like a chilling wind. The story is a tragedy, of course, but in Chilton's sure hands, it transcends the horrors, and the name of this transcendence is Art." --Corey Mesler, author of Memphis Movie , and The World is Neither Stacked For Nor Against You: Selected Stories "With meticulous research, Lora Chilton's 1666: A Novel , brings to life the forgotten and tragic story of women who survived a disgraceful chapter in our melting-pot history. Following them from Virginia and the birth of the 'New World,' to Barbados, eventually back to their lost homelands, you cannot help but mourn the lost opportunity early settlers had to collaborate rather than annihilate." --Molly Calwell Crosby, author of The American Plague , and The Great Pearl Heist "Beautifully written, 1666: A Novel tells a story that needs to be told...this is a story of the survival of our best selves over our worst." --Dr. Barbara U. Prescott, co-author of My Heart Got Married and I Didn't Know It "In this debut novel by Lora Chilton, 1666: A Novel , we are introduced to a history based account of two brave indigenous women of the Patawomeck tribe, who are abducted from their native Virginia home in 1666 and enslaved under the brutal 'Master' and 'Mistress' of the plantations in Barbados. A page-turning marvel of a historical novel! Otherwise, the shameful erasure of the Patawomeck would have been maintained." --Diana Y. Paul, author of Things Unsaid "History is usually written by the conquerors, so it is said to be HIS-story!... 1666: A Novel , an often raw and gritty work of historical fiction, describes the resilience and tenacity that ultimately is OUR-story! Based on actual Colonial documents from the 1600s, this tragic tale often seems as shocking as a sudden plunge into cold water... but then reverberates with redemption and the LOVE of family and friends that brings warmth to the heart!" --Buddy "White Cloud" Jett, Patawomeck elder, Former Tribal Council Member and Tribal Judge Emeritus, "Lora Chilton's 1666: A Novel is an historically accurate, horrific, moving chronicle of the devastation wrought on the indigenous population by white settlers in early America.

Synopsis
The Survival Story of the Patawomeck Tribe of Virginia told through the lives of two women The survival story of the Patawomeck Tribe of Virginia has been remembered within the tribe for generations, but the massacre of Patawomeck men and the enslavement of women and children by land hungry colonists in 1666 has been mostly unknown outside of the tribe until now. Author Lora Chilton, a member of the tribe through the lineage of her father, has created this powerful fictional retelling. Told in first person point of view through the imagined lives of two women, Chilton tells the harrowing stories of Ah'SaWei WaTaPaAnTam (Golden Fawn) and NePa'WeXo (Shining Moon), members of the surviving Patawomeck tribe, who after the slaughter of their men were sold and transported to Barbados via slave ship. Separated and bought by different sugar plantations, they endured, each plotting their escapes before finally making their way back to Virginia to be reunited with the few members of the tribe that remained.
