Secrets in the Storm

By Dana Lindsley

An explosive storm hits the tiny trading post of New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island in 1666. Elsje, a young Dutch girl, who dreams of being a physician, and Gerret, a tavern-keep in training, strive to survive the storm's aftermath. Along the way, they must deal with Rev. Megapolensis, a powerful figure in New Amsterdam, whose secrets impact the couple's relationship. Will the attraction between the two survive Elsje's imprisoning challenges and Gerret's youthful impetuousness? Will the uncovering of secrets separate them or draw them closer together? Set in the seventeenth century at the height of the golden era of the Netherlands, the two weave a pathway of courage and longing through the trials of living after catastrophic events. Using startling new insights from just recently published translations of period documents, 'Secrets in the Storm' immerses the reader in fascinating details of life and culture during the brief Dutch period of New York City history.
