Description

Description

Set in 18th century Northampton, Massachusetts, this novel weaves together the lives of several individuals, each with their own unique story to tell. A young woman from West Africa is enslaved in the household of a prominent theologian, while his young cousins struggle with their father's tragic fate and the weight of their faith.

Through the eyes of these characters, Susan Stinson explores themes of ordinary grace, human failings, and extraordinary convictions, revealing the complexities of a time and place marked by both great spiritual conviction and profound social injustice.

A beautifully written tale that combines historical insight with poetic imagination, this novel offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in American history.
