Description

A beautifully crafted novel spanning three generations of one family's complex history. In 1666, Joy is born in a Yorkshire farmhouse, named by her dying father and growing up amidst persecution for following a banned faith. She joins a group of pioneers traveling to the New World, fighting against the constraints of her time. Centuries later, a leather-bound book is discovered in a Pennsylvania Meeting House, tracing its owner back to Joy's family farm. A correspondence begins between Rachel Moorside and Sam Storer, as Rachel uncovers the tumultuous secrets of her family's past. This emotionally powerful story is filled with rich historical detail, making for a compelling journey into the past that will stay with you long after finishing the book.
