Description

Jayes is based on the true events that took place in Jamestown, Virginia in the early 1600's. This is a story about America's White Slaves. As Kayla finished cleaning out her grandmother's house in Virginia she stumbled onto some old manuscripts. What she discovered was the life of Jayes Mackey, preserved on paper for future generations to read. These manuscripts were written so that someday, the truth would be revealed. Falsely accused, sentenced to servitude and thrown onto a ship bound for the New World. Jayes takes you back to the very foundation of America. A journey from Ireland to the newly built streets of Jamestown and the first Tobacco Plantations. Through the wars between the Powhatan Indians and the Colonists to the courtroom and the whipping post in Jamestown Fort, Jayes takes you back in time to the untamed and lawless land they called Virginia. A place where death and betrayal lurks at every turn, and where freedom and life can so easily be taken away. Jayes will move you, and keep you on the edge of your seat turning pages, she will make you laugh, and make you cry. This is truly unforgettable story. Jayes Mackey was an Irish slave whose story has been left unheard for far to long. She reveals for us what many like her suffered and endured in the New World. Hers is only one of the hundreds of thousands of stories that have been left untold and hidden in the pages of history. Based on actual events that took place in early Virginia, this book gives us a new insight into the lives of our ancestors that came to the American Colonies in the early 17th Century and the true beginnings of America. In April 2015 Kelli Rea Klampe was diagnosed with a Brain Aneurysm. This story was one she deeply regretted not writing. Within weeks of surgery, Kelli traveled across America to do extensive research and write this book. "I needed to give them a voice in history. I had to write this, I did not realize how important it was until I thought I would never have the opportunity to do so."
