To Have and to Hold

the long version

A charming portrait of America’s youth, To Have and To Hold tells the story of people forging new beginnings in the rugged Commonwealth. It’s a time when anyone, from a Native American to a courtier from James I’s court, can cross paths. Though some say the novel includes too many far-fetched adventures, the spirited action is what breathes new life into American history and shows how the country raised its citizens to be individualistic to the core.
