About this book
White orchards, orderly farms and a quiet lakeside settlement greet Susanna Hathaway and her young daughter Sue as they approach a Shaker community near Albion in Maine. Susanna remembers the kindness she received there as a child and returns with hope and fear. Sue brings a different energy to their arrival, skipping along the road and asking eager questions about the unfamiliar people and their customs.
Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin's novel brings family concerns into contact with a shared religious life. The community's work, songs, prayers and rhythmic worship form the setting for Susanna's effort to decide whether she belongs among its members. After nearly three months, she speaks openly about her gratitude and the duties that may draw her away.
