His loyalties remain torn, and when the Powhatan go to war against the settlers, John must choose which world he will call his own. John marries Hester but dreams of Suckahanna, eventually returning to Virginia to start a plantation, find Suckahanna, and escape being pulled into the civil war. After promising to marry her, Tradescant returns to England to discover that his father has died and has put forth the efficient Hester Pooks as a wife capable of guarding his children and the rarities collection which is a major part of their livelihood. His guide is Suckahanna, a young Powhatan girl. Charles I is on the verge of plunging England into civil war, and John Tradescant, royal gardener, flees the grief of his wife’s death to collect exotic plants and rarities in the new world of the Virginia colony.
