review 1: Wow. Wow. Wow. Painful, powerful, eye opening. We are so quick to judge one another, to work our guts out trying to obtain our own salvation, and refrain from embracing the happiness God wants to offer us. We don't need to. God is good, He loves us, and He has exchanged the life of a good man for all of us. There is much joy and love to embrace. This book was simply beautiful. The deep analogy of a "good man giving his life so we could live and love" was profound. I am excited to read this book again. Amazing words, deep characters, and inspirational theme. Gorgeous and painful to the end. Thank you, Siri Mitchell.
review 2: Puritan Susannah Phillips has tried all her life to live the puritan faith while inside her exists doubts that make her believe herse
... morelf unworthy. There is also another woman in their small community who thinks herself unworthy and wishes only to disappear. There is also a man named Simeon who not only thinks too much of himself but while passing himself off as a true puritan has no conscience. Enter the governor of Boston's own cousin the captain, sent to the colony to protect it from savages and is given boarding in Susannah's own home. Susannah is thrown into confusion. Does she really love John Presscott? She is sure she doesn't love Simeon who decides to coerce into a marriage she doesn't want while the captain begins to wedge his way into her heart. How then does she end up on trial for her life? less

I enjoyed the personalized view of Puritanism... the author didn't quite hit her narrative stride.

This was a difficult book - one of the most frustrating reads I've had in a long time.

Powerful. One of Siri's most compelling. Not a typical ending.
