Mary Brewster’s Love Life: Matriarch of the Mayflower

Could you leave three children behind to make a treacherous journey to the far side of the world, not knowing when or if you’d ever see them again?

Mary Brewster did that. It wasn’t her choice. A woman in the 16th century seldom had much say about her fate. Her place was to go along with their husband’s plans. Those plans led her to leave her tranquil life in rural England as the mistress of a manor to live in exile across the North Sea. A decade later, she sailed away with two young sons to start over again in the New World.
