grmarlow said: Struggles without, struggles within -- Susanna Thorn faces both in this YA novel set in 1660s England. Susanna is a Quaker at a time when Quakers are suffering harsh persecution from both the government and their neighbors, and she worries that her faith will not be strong enough to bear up under it. She also has personal struggles -- she has fallen in love with a young man, Will, who is her opposite in several important ways -- he's Anglican, well-educated, and wealthy. The story follows her development from fear to faith, from impetuous infatuation to mature love.
