Full Title:
New England Genesis: A Trilogy, ©2020, 834 pages, historical fiction, by Clint Hull.
Synopsis of the Book:
This trilogy of books portrays life in early New England as seen through the eyes of three generations of the Rev. Joseph Hull family, an actual immigrant family, from 1630 to 1720. It relies in part on the known information about the lives of three generations of this Hull family, historical events and circumstances at the time, and the imagination of the author.
New England Dreams, book one, follows Joseph Hull, an Anglican minister, who brings his congregation to Weymouth, Massachusetts in 1635 and dreams of providing an alternative to the Puritanism rampant in New England.
New England Wakes, book two, portrays arrival of Quaker missionaries in 1656 and the awakening of Joseph's son Tristram Hull to the harsh realities of slavery and religious persecution, and Tristram's life as a sea captain.
New England Rising, book three, covers Tristram's sons John Hull and Joseph Hull, who must cope with the rise of anti-Indian sentiments that surround King Philip's War, rising resistance to English authority and the desire for self-rule, plus a gamut of family issues ranging from marriage to murder.
