Twelve year old Mattie Townsend was left alone without food or shelter when her father was thrown into debtor’s prison. She struggled to survive until she signed a five year indenture agreement to whomever would pay her fare on the ship that took her to the New World.

Abstract:
From the back alleys of London, twelve year old Mattie Townsend sailed to America to be auctioned off to whomever would pay her fare. She had signed a bondservant agreement guaranteeing the next five years of her life. She found love and sorrow in her new home in Pennsylvania. At seventeen, she fled the man who had purchased her; joining a wagon train for the Ohio Valley where she planned to continue her journey up into the Michigan Territory. She wanted to forget her past and start a new life; but she could not forget the man she left behind.
