Returning home to West Virginia after her beloved Uncle John's
death, Lydde finds that he has left her an odd legacy: a note with
instructions that lead her to a remote mountain cave. When she
falls into a crevasse, she finds she has followed her uncle farther
than she thought-to Norchester, England, in 1657. Times are dark:
the ruling Puritans have beheaded the king and prohibited song,
dance, and even Christmas. Though she passes as a boy with her
short hair and pants, local official Noah Fallam is still
suspicious of her strange clothing and outspokenness. Luckily, she
soon finds her uncle, and another man: the Raven, a bandit who
provides for the poor through smuggling and robbery. The unlikely
couple fall in love, and Lydde must decide where-and when-she
belongs. This captivating story brings us close to Denise
Giardina's signature concerns of faith and the way we treat the
earth.
