Summary "Ruth of Boston: A Story of the Massachusetts Bay Colony" by James Otis is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the early Massachusetts Bay Colony and explores the life of young Ruth, who embarks on a significant journey from England to America with her family in search of a new home and community built upon their shared faith. The opening of the novel introduces us to Ruth, a twelve-year-old girl documenting her experiences in a diary as her family travels aboard the "Arabella". She describes the anticipation and challenges of the journey across the ocean, the people traveling with them, and the hopeful dreams for their new life in America. As the ship sets sail, Ruth faces various fears, including a potential encounter with enemy ships and the struggle against storms at sea. Through her eyes, readers witness not only the practical difficulties of colonial life but also the emotional landscape of a young girl navigating the threshold between childhood and a new, uncertain world.
