Reviews
"A Daughter of Francis Martin ... remains true to the known facts while telling a compelling story that pulls the reader deeper and deeper into the circumstances of Mary Martin. We are convinced that the principals (characters) have lives beyond the tale. They are multi-dimensional characters, each has his or her own flaws and often lives or grows to understand or undergo the consequences...Virginia Chute has, to my mind, captured the soul of 17th century Falmouth before its fall." -William David Barry, Maine historian and author of Maine: The Wilder Half of New England.
