Book: My Name is John, John Cooke
Synopsis: Gathering the threads of research by her grandmother and a cousin decades before, Lynn Bush Genda has completed her genealogical link to a Mayflower passenger and created a charming benchside interview between a fictional 1690s gentleman in Dartmouth and her famous ancestor, John Cooke. Follow the compelling journey from Amsterdam to the new world, with well researched responses to the questions we all have about the historic passage, its causes and consequences, the first winter, the relationship with native Americans, religious and governmental practices, and daily life. A satisfying conversation for all ages. After several years owning and managing a college bookstore, Titles and Texts in Gurnee, IL, Lynn and her husband retired to Murrells Inlet, SC. She worked as an employee in the gift shop at Brookgreen Gardens for 13 years and now volunteers for the Gardens. Since retiring, Lynn has had time to pursue her genealogical interests.
