What People are Saying About This
Anne LeClaire
“A gifted storyteller . . . has given us a deeply affecting tale of a woman caught between the irresistible currents of her inner truth and the equally powerful strictures of her times.”
Jacquelyn Mitchard
“Unlike many historical novelists, Gunning makes the long-ago feel like this very day. Elegantly, she tells bitter truths that dignity and grace and even abiding love can flourish where it seems nothing can grow.”
