Publisher's Summary

Clambering into the branches of a tree, a young woman flees flaming arrows and massacre. She will need to struggle for survival, scour the wilderness for shelter, and strive for a new family and setting where she can belong. Her unmarked way is costly and hard.

For Charis, the world outside the window of home is a maze of hazards. And even if she survives the wilds, it is no simple matter to discover and nest among her own kind—the godly, those called Puritans by others. She may be tugged by her desires for companionship, may even stumble into an intense love for a man, and may be made to try the strength of female heroism in ways no longer familiar to women in our century.

Streams of darkness run through the 17th century villages of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Occult fears have a way of creeping into the mind. What young woman can be safe from the dangers of wilderness when its shadowy thickets spring up so easily in the soil of human hearts? Much will oppose Charis' longings for renewal and peace. She must pursue and discover the hero's path to a larger, more vivid life.

Beautiful, challenging and edifying

Very rich historical fiction. I almost gave up about an hour/hour and a half in, thinking it was too much for me, but I’m so glad I carried on! Couldn’t stop finding little snippets of time to continue listening!

I haven’t “read” much for pleasure, but this was a soul searching and stirring book that I was very pleasantly surprised by. I thought I would begin early (end of July) and meander my way through over time, for a book club discussion in a few months, but finished in just a few days even with a newborn! I’m looking forward to discussing it with “Well Read Moms” in October! Sure to remember and ponder many points for a long time.
