About This Book

Against the backdrop of a Huguenot community in old New York, a young woman's curiosity and devotion embroil her in family and religious tensions between secret Protestant worshippers and Catholic relatives. Episodes trace rivalries with an assertive cousin, clandestine meetings, forced partings, sea voyages, and confrontations with political and personal danger. The narrative balances domestic scenes and public intrigue, following tests of loyalty, conscience, and forgiveness as characters reckon with identity, duty, and compassion through episodic adventures, moral dilemmas, and intimate tableaux.
