New World Burning is the powerful saga of Philip Corstair, an enthusiastic young carpenter’s apprentice from England, who makes the harrowing journey across the Atlantic as an indentured servant to the New World in 1650. Over a time that covers a colorful cast of characters, the impossible dream of owning land in Virginia comes to wonderful fruition with the love of his wife, and a family of English and adopted Indian children. But then his hard-earned success runs a collision course with Nathaniel Bacon’s Rebellion. This is the story of a well-meaning former indenture who can’t help but get caught in the terrible events as they unfold. Events that produced the demise of indentured labor, and then introduced large-scale, life-long African slavery.
