“The Boy Who Fell Off the Mayflower, or John Howland’s Good Fortune” by P.J. Lynch tells the story of John Howland, a young man who embarks on the perilous journey across the Atlantic on the Mayflower. When a storm hits, John unexpectedly falls overboard and faces a life-threatening struggle in the icy waters. Miraculously rescued, he learns valuable lessons about courage, resilience, and the importance of family and community. As he navigates the challenges of life in the New World, John’s adventure highlights the perseverance and hope of those early settlers who sought a better future.
