In 1650s England, a young Puritan maiden is on a mission to save the baby of her newly widowed preacher—whether her assistance is wanted or not. Always ready to help those in need, Elizabeth ignores John’s protests of her aid. She’s even willing to risk her lone marriage prospect to help the little family.

Yet Elizabeth’s new role as nanny takes a dangerous turn when John’s boldness from the pulpit makes him a target of political and religious leaders. As the preacher’s enemies become desperate to silence him, they draw Elizabeth into a deadly web of deception. Finding herself in more danger than she ever bargained for, she’s more determined than ever to save the child—and man she’s come to love.

    " A very good book! I connected with the main character very well and the hardships were believable and exciting. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good book. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Leanne | 2/10/2014

    " A very well-written novel about a Puritan woman in the 1600's. I learned a lot about the political upheaval that was caused by ministers preaching without ordination. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Christine Lindsay | 2/8/2014

    " This was one of the best debut novels I've ever read. Author Jody Hedlund did an awesome job weaving historical detail of the Paul Bunyan era into her very poignant love story. The story was filled with tenderness, believable danger, and had me glued to the pages. I recommend this one highly. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Monique Stevens | 12/31/2013

    " I love Jody Hedlund's books. She writes love stories using real people or events from Christian history. This book is about John Bunyan, a puritan, who wrote Pilgrim's Progress while in prison for 12 years for preaching. Sure she changes a little bit the history of the person or persons involved in the story to make it also a happy ending love story, but I love happy ending so I don't care.I love her Author's note at the end when she tells about the real person or persons and what really happened. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Bridget | 12/10/2013

    " I enjoyed this book...and read it in one day. I didn't realize until the end that it is a true story with some fictional license taken. I kept on hoping that the family would emigrate to America. They didn't (in the book). It makes me curious as to other happenings in the Puritan times of England. "
