Favorite Daughter, Part One
Set in the time of the Jamestown settlement and the English explorer John Smith, Favorite Daughter, Part One recounts the story of Chief Powhatan's daughter, Pocahontas, as she prepares to take her place as one of our nation's earliest leading women. Pocahontas invites readers to experience her native world when strangers appear on the shores near her village. From forging a relationship with the charismatic Smith, to experiencing love for the first time and creating a role for herself in her father’s plans for peace, this young girl takes us on a poignant and harrowing journey through the turbulent events of her life. Eventually betrayed by all of the men she loves, Pocahontas matures into a heroine of tremendous nobility, courage, and heart. Told in first person, in a voice brimming with compassion and wisdom, Favorite Daughter, Part One provides a compelling look at the early days of one of the most remarkable legends in American history.

Reviews
Kelly O'Connor McNees, author of The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott, In Need o

"The lyrical prose and complex characters of Favorite Daughter, Part One breathe vivid life into the remote place and time of Pocahontas's story. In Margulies's hands, this fabled girl becomes a flesh-and-blood woman, who seeks not just to be a dutiful daughter but to explore, fearlessly, the world beyond her village. I loved every page."
 
 
 

Mary Volmer, author of Crown of Dust

"Favorite Daughter, Part One offers a glimpse into the life of Pocahontas, a woman whose story has compelled generations, but whose own voice has been lost in history. Margulies re-imagines that voice. Her visceral prose transports us into the mind of a girl facing, with youthful naivety, a dangerous and changing world. A brave retelling."
