Fairhaven; a Story of Pilgrim Land by Henry Grattan Donnelly audiobook.

Genre: drama

In Fairhaven: a Story of Pilgrim Land, Henry Grattan Donnelly (writing under the byline Justis Henry G. D.) turns back to coastal New England in the first, uncertain generation after the Mayflower. In a settlement where every harvest is a gamble and every quarrel can become a crisis, a young newcomer to the colony is forced to choose what kind of life he will build: a quiet existence shaped by strict faith and communal duty, or a bolder path driven by private hopes, ambition, and love. Around him, the little town that calls itself Fairhaven struggles to hold together as sickness, scarcity, and old-world rivalries test its resolve. Friends become opponents in disputes over leadership and conscience, families fracture under the pressure of survival, and a single personal decision can ripple outward into the fate of the whole community. Rich with period detail and a sense of place, Donnelly's novel explores the cost of belonging, the pull between principle and desire, and the fragile courage it takes to turn a harsh shoreline into a home.
