In 1662, as England is still reeling from civil war, wealthy young merchant Will falls in love with Susanna, a servant girl. But Susanna is not only beneath Will’s social standing. Worse, she is a Quaker – hated for her faith and dangerous to love. Will’s yearning for this plain-living, independent young woman will drive him to defy his parents, society and even the law. But is the bond between Will and Susanna strong enough to survive – no matter what? Follow the trials of these young lovers through the terrors of persecution and plague, and finally to a new life in America. Told in three parts, this is an exquisitely crafted love story that speaks across the centuries, telling of two young people forced apart by a society that forbids them to be together.
