A love affair between Quaker Susanna and merchant's son Will plays out against the persecution of Friends in seventeenth-century England. In alternating chapters, the young lovers recount their seemingly doomed romance and their own journeys of faith. The briskly paced narrative weaves early modern social customs and Quaker religious beliefs with an engrossing plot and a moving love story.
