The Seven Pennies

he Seven PenniesEngland, 1603.Twelve-year-old Thomas arrives on England's shores with nothing but seven pennies, a wooden cross, and the memory of the mother he lost at sea. Alone in a city he has never seen, he survives the only way he can-among London's street boys, where every day is a battle for food, shelter, and hope.When a failed theft brings him to the attention of Miles, a scholar working on King James's new Bible translation, Thomas is offered something he never expected: a home, an education, and a place to belong. As he exchanges the dangers of the streets for a house filled with books, he discovers a gift for language and a passion for the written word.But the past is not so easily left behind.As Thomas grows into a young man, long-buried family secrets begin to surface. A ruthless uncle with his own ambitions threatens everything his mother sacrificed to protect, while England itself stands on the edge of upheaval-religious conflict, political intrigue, and the birth of a new world across the ocean.From the crowded streets of London to the dawn of the Virginia colony, The Seven Pennies is a sweeping story of faith, friendship, loss, and providence. Set against the creation of the King James Bible and the changing world of the early seventeenth century, it is a tale of the words we inherit, the lives we build, and the quiet ways God guides us when we cannot see the road ahead.Perfect for readers of inspirational historical fiction, coming-of-age stories, and novels rich with faith, heart, and history.
